A member asked:

Do you prescribe urocit k (potassium citrate) for the prevention of kidney stones?

4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Yes: It can be used to prevent recurrent kidney stones in patients with low urinary citrate. This measurement should be done by a specialized kidney stone laboratory.

Urocit K (potassium citrate): Personally, yes, I have prescribed Urocit K for kidney stone prevention and for nephrocalcinosis management. I find that patients prefer liquid citrate vehicles, such as Bicitra, (citric acid and sodium citrate) Polycitra, ReaLemon Extract, and orange juice, though.
