isk factors for low urinary citrate excretion were assessed in 34 consecutive male recurrent idiopathic calcium stone formers (RCSF) who collected two 24-h urines while on free-choice diet. Overt hypocitraturia (hypo-cit) was defined as UCit×V<1.70 mmol/day, and ‘low’ citraturia (low-cit) as UCit×V between 1.70 and 2.11 mmol/day. Twenty-three RCSF had normocitraturia (normo-cit), six low-cit and five hypo-cit. UCit×V positively correlated with urine volume (VOLUME, r=0.44, P=0.009), vegetable fibre intake (fibers, r=0.46, P=0.009) and GI-alkali absorption (alkali, r=0.47, P=0.006), and volume, fibres and alkali tended to be lower among RCSF with low-/hypo-cit. A 3-day NH4Cl loading test (0.95 mEq/kg BW daily in 3 doses) was performed in RCSF as well as in 14 age-matched healthy male controls (C). On a plot of urine pH versus serum bicarbonate, 10 of 11 RCSF with low-/hypo-cit, but only six of 23 with normo-cit (P=0.0004) fell off the normal range, indicating incomplete RTA. Two or more risk factors simultaneously occurred in only four of 23 RCSF with normo-cit, but in eight of 11 with low-/hypo-cit (P= 0.002). In conclusion, incomplete RTA is the most prevalent risk factor for low-/hypo-cit in RCSF, and decreases in vegetable fibres and urine volume emerge as two new risk factors for low urinary CIT.
