Abstract

Urate stones account for 5-10% of all urinary calculi. The key point in stone formation is the adhesion of the microcrystals of uric acid in the tubular urine to the apical nephrothelial membrane. Urate nephrolithiasis may develop against the background of normal excretion of uric acid in the urine in conditions of reduced ammoniogenesis, leading to a decrease of urinary pH. Nutrition can have a significant impact on the purine metabolism and urine acidity, especially in patients with gout, and is one of the key components of the management of patients with hyperuricemia, but to a lesser extent, affects the risk of uric acid stone formation. In fact, citrate mixture is buffer component causing urinary alkalization by hydrolysis with formation of strong base ions and a weak acid. Blemaren has certain advantages over other citrate mixtures, which include predominance of citric acid over citric salt, as well as significant proportion of potassium hydrogen carbonate as buffer component. Thus, hyperuricosuria and decrease of pH due to lower ammoniogenesis are the main pathogenetic factors for uric acid stone formation. The use of citrate mixtures, especially Blemaren, can effectively control the urate urolithiasis, leading to litholysis and reducing the risk of stone recurrence.
