S2E10 - Citrate Salts for Kidney Stone Prevention
Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!
Kidney stones are common, especially in men aged 40–60, and have high recurrence rates. This episode reveals the NHMRC Level 1 evidence for citrate salts, which can prevent approximately three-quarters of new stones from forming. We discuss the practicalities of potassium citrate dosing and the popular "real lemonade" alternative (30mL lemon juice/190mL water). Most importantly, we cover the critical safety domain: screening for contraindications like kidney impairment (GFR <45), active UTIs, or pregnancy to avoid exam-failing errors.

Pro Tip: To make this information "viral" among your study groups, remember that citrate salts are the "secret weapon" for stone-formers, offering a non-surgical way to stop 75% of new stones!
