Potassium citrate research

The study sample consisted of 313 daily potassium lactate indications meet children in 2000-2008 between the Johns Hopkins Hospital began eating ketogenic diet, each child received at least one month of follow-up. 2000-2005, the ketogenic diet for children hypercalciuria occurs, these children receive a daily dose of 2 mEq per kg. From 2006, all children receiving the ketogenic diet are empirically using potassium citrate.
198 Use of potassium citrate in the prevention of child 4 (2.0%), 105 did not use potassium citrate children 11 (10.5%) occurred kidney stones (P = 0.003). Beginning in 2006, two children refused to supplement potassium citrate; these two children have an occurrence of magnessium lactate. Before you start using the ketogenic diet, the success of children receiving prophylactic potassium citrate, 0.9% incidence of kidney stones (1/106), because of the high calcium before accepting potassium citrate is 6.7% (13 / 195).
Although children receiving potassium citrate compare alkaline urine (mean pH 6.8 compared to 6.2; P = 0.002), but this group has not decreased blood pH. Potassium citrate was well tolerated and no significant side effects.
