Potassium citrate (anhydrous) is the anhydrous form of the tripotassium salt of citric acid. It has a role as a diuretic. It contains a citrate(3-).|Potassium citrate (also known as tripotassium citrate) is a potassium salt of citric acid. It is a white, hygroscopic crystalline powder. It is odorless with a saline taste. It contains 38.3% potassium by mass. In the monohydrate form it is highly hygroscopic and deliquescent. Potassium citrate is used to treat a kidney stone condition called renal tubular acidosis. Potassium Citrate is indicated also for the management of Hypocitraturic calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.|Potassium citrate anhydrous is a Metabolic Alkalinizer. The mechanism of action of potassium citrate anhydrous is as an Alkalinizing Activity.|A powder that dissolves in water, which is administered orally, and is used as a diuretic, expectorant, systemic alkalizer, and electrolyte replenisher.

Potassium citrate induces changes in the urine which renders urine less susceptible to the formation of crystals and stones from salts e.g. calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate and uric acid. Increased citrate levels in the urine will make complexation with calcium which decrease the calcium ion activity and decrease the chance for the formation of calcium phosphate crystals. Citrate also inhibits the spontaneous nucleation of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate.

Mucolytic agents, that is drugs that liquefy mucous secretions, are also included here. (See all compounds classified as Expectorants.)
Urinary; less than 5% unchanged.
Potassium Citrate is absorbed and the citrate is metabolised to bicarbonate.
After oral administration of potassium citrate, its metabolism yields alkaline load. Potassium Citrate therapy appears to increase urinary citrate mainly by modifying the renal handling of citrate, rather than by increasing the filtered load of citrate. In addition to raising urinary pH and citrate, Potassium Citrate increases urinary potassium by approximately the amount contained in the medication. In some patients, Potassium Citrate causes a transient reduction in urinary calcium.

Tripotassium citrate Use and Manufacturing
BY ADDING POTASSIUM BICARBONATE OR CARBONATE TO A SOLN OF CITRIC ACID UNTIL EFFERVESCENCE CEASES, FILTERING THE SOLN & EVAPORATION TO GRANULATION.
Potassium citrate (also known as tripotassium citrate) is a potassium salt of citric acid with the molecular formula C6H5K3O7. It is a white, hygroscopic crystalline powder. It is odorless with a saline taste. It contains 38.3% potassium by mass. In the monohydrate form it is highly hygroscopic and deliquescent.As a food additive, potassium citrate is used to regulate acidity and is known as E number E332. Medicinally, it may be used to control kidney stones derived from either uric acid or cystine.

Drug Function and Efficacy
Pharmacological tests have shown that diluting 2g of potassium citrate granules into 20ml of solution and gavaging mice at 5ml/kg, 10ml/kg, and 20ml/kg respectively can increase the serum potassium content of mice, so it can be used as a potassium supplement. Potassium is the main cation in cells, with a concentration of 150-160mmol/L, while the main cation outside cells is Na+, with a potassium concentration of only 3.5-5.0mmol/L. The body mainly relies on Na+, K+, and ATPase on the cell membrane to maintain the difference in K+ and Na+ concentrations inside and outside the cell. The acid-base balance in the body has an impact on potassium metabolism. For example, when acidosis occurs, H enters the cell. In order to maintain the potential difference between the inside and outside of the cell, K+ is released outside the cell, causing or aggravating hyperkalemia. Metabolic disorders can also affect
