Clinical experience with Uralyt-U used in patients with gout and nephrolithiasis

The impact of a 4-week course of therapy with Uralyt-U (potassium-sodium hydrocitrate) on uric acid (UA) metabolic parameters was studied in patients with gout and nephrolithiasis. Elevated daily urinary excretion of UA was found to be directly correlated with its lower serum level after 4-week ther...

Description
Summary:The impact of a 4-week course of therapy with Uralyt-U (potassium-sodium hydrocitrate) on uric acid (UA) metabolic parameters was studied in patients with gout and nephrolithiasis. Elevated daily urinary excretion of UA was found to be directly correlated with its lower serum level after 4-week therapy with Uralyt-U (p < 0.05), resulting in improvement and normalization of UA metabolism. Uralyt-U therapy is safe and causes no worsening of the parameters of hepatic and renal function and electrolyte exchange.
