Introduction of Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup comes with the brand name “ALSODA” and is a urinary alkalinizer indicated for treating renal tubular acidosis, gout, and kidney stones. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals/acidic salts that stick together in concentrated urine. Renal tubular acidosis is when the kidneys fail to excrete acids in the urine; this causes the blood to remain too acidic.
Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup contains disodium hydrogen citrate, which metabolizes to bicarbonate and increases the excretion of free bicarbonate ions; it increases the solubility of cysteine in the urine and ionizes uric acid to the soluble urate ion. It helps to improve the pH of the urine, making the urine less acidic.
