Once you mention kidney stones you get my full attention, given my unfortunate history of kidney stones. Thank you for the information and taking the time to bring it to us kidney stones sufferers.
My urologist, a kidney stone specialist at Duke University Medical System prescribed for me a potassium citrate medication. There are several forms of this, a large pill and an effervescent tablet called Effervescent-K. He said that research data indicates a TEN FOLD decrease in kidney stone formation rate. The mechanism for this strategy is twofold: alkalinizing the urine pH and increasing urine citrate concentration.
Thanks, as always. Did I understand you correctly? That taking calcium citrate is a good thing? I eat a lot of dark leafy greens (especially spinach) daily but I also supplement with 150x2 daily calcium citrate. (I am osteopenic.) I have cut back on the supplements but your video makes me think I should now go back to 300x2 daily!!! So, calcium citrate: good or bad?
Thank you. My 24 hour urine calcium is over 500 and my ph is low 5s. PTH is normal and blood calcium normal. I would prefer not to take medicines like thiazides. What are possible ways to raise my urine pH and my urine calcium in addition to lower animal proteins. Does potassium bicarbonate help? Thanks for any other suggestions Doctor.
Could you tell us, what food(s) are high in calcium for diet in order to bind the oxalate calcium in our guts, Doc? What about peanuts, tofu, tempeh, and chicken eggs, are they dangerous for making kidney stones? Would you please tell us the reason?
Sir I have question kindly give me answer. We can use PCNL procedure in autosomal polycystic kidney stones. If two or some cysts break during the process of PCNL procedure how much dangerous for kidney. We can use shock waves in polycystic kidney stones Kindly give me answer I am pakistan and I have 3 cm and one 2 cm stone in my two kidney Thanks
Why would my urologist refer me to an endocrinologist rather than a nephrologist? I have history of cal/ox stones, and high levels in my urine. Thyroid?
I think that is about the same as 3L. I just bought a camelback water canteen that is 50oz so I am going to go for 2 of those per day with organic lemon juice.

know how much oxalate is the amount of spinach you eat
Which are more alkalizing on an equal adjusted molar basis, 3 mmol potassium bicarbonate or 1 mmol potassium citrate? Thanks.
Potassium citrate is always better than sodium or potassium bicarbonate for stone prevention
@@SELFPrinciple Will K3 citrate also make the urine more alkaline than K bicarbonate?
@@SELFPrinciple doc, is it okay to take potassium citrate every day? Thank you.
Is ATP supplements bad for kidney disease please let me know. Thank you Corey
Most ATP supplements are just creatine with other stuff. It’s mostly fancy marketing.

when you mention sodium, I assume you mean sodium chloride as opposed to sodium bicarbonate? Thank you for the video and info!!
Yes. That is correct.
