Nephrolithiasis-Associated Bone Disease.

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Urinary stone disease (nephrolithiasis) is a risk factor for bone disease (osteoporosis) and hip fractures. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is common in people with calcium nephrolithiasis. Calcium nephrolithiasis is described as a multisystem disease with complications of urinary stones and osteoporosis. In one study of urinary stone patients, with average follow-up of 19 years, […]

Citrus Fruit Beverages and Hypocitraturic Kidney Stones.

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

People with hypocitraturic nephrolithiasis (low citrate urinary stones) benefit by drinking more citrates, either in orange or in lemon juice. Potassium citrate tablets have been standard therapy for urinary stones. Potassium citrate therapy results in reduced stone formation. This study is of the relative benefits of commercially available citrus drinks which are available. Citrate can […]

Hypocitraturia and Potassium Citrate.

Posted on February 29, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

Potassium citrate is the most commonly used therapy for low urinary citrate levels (hypocitraturia). Hypocitraturia is seen in 13-63% of patients with recurrent urinary stones. Potassium citrate is the common therapy for kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) caused by calcium oxylate, uric acid or cystine. Citrate alkalinizes urine, prevents crystal formation and chelates calcium. Chronic diarrhea reduces […]

Acid-Base Balance and the Influence of Nutrition.

Posted on February 19, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

Acid/base balance influences human exercise performance, urinary stone production and calcium absorption and use in the body. Diet can alter our acid-base balance. Acid production in the urine can be predicted by measuring the dietary intake of all foods. The authors have created an algorithm (formula) to predict the amount of acid produced from a […]
