Converting enzyme inhibition causes hypocitraturia independent of acidosis or hypokalemia [PDF]
Kidney International, 1998 Angiotensin II stimulates the proximal tubular Na/H antiporter and increases proximal tubular cell pH. Because intracellular pH may affect urinary citrate excretion and enzymes responsible for renal citrate metabolism, the present studies examined the effect of enalapril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, on the activity of renal cortical ATP

Hypocitraturia and its role in renal stone disease
Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1988 For more than 5 0 years, low urinary citrate (hypocitraturia) has occurred in some patients with renal stones; however, only recently has more interest been generated in the role of hypocitraturia in renal stone disease and the beneficial effect of citrate therapy for the prevention and treatment of nephrolithiasis. The authors review the metabolism of
