Acute effects of calcium sodium citrate supplementation of a test meal on mineral homeostasis, oxalate, and calcium oxalate crystallization in the urine of healthy humans — Preliminary results in patients with idiopathic calcium urolithiasis+

Citrate and mineral metabolism kidney stones and bone disease

“…These results were confirmed by Ettinger et al who showed a decrease of the recurrence rate of stones in idiopatic calcium stone formers chronically treated with potassium-magnesium citrate (201). Schwille et al proved that magnesium-alkali citrate induced anti-CaOx crystallization effects through the combined direct and indirect action of magnesium, citrate and the stabilization of urinary pH (202). In the presence of less acidic renal tubular fluid, citrate reabsorption decreases.…”

Effect Of Calcium Supplementation As An Adjunct To Scaling And Root Planing In The Treatment Of Chronic Periodontitis

“…There is biologic surmise that multiple actions of calcium are potentially appealing for the management of chronic periodontitis, whose pathogenesis is based on bacterial driven inflammation [19,20]. It is speculated that the status of calcium could modify the risk of periodontitis by preventing alveolar bone loss or by mediation of the host's immune response to infection [21,22]. Thus, there is evidence pointing to the potential role of calcium intake on dental health; however, there are controversies regarding the role of calcium supplementation in chronic periodontitis and its management [23,24].…”

Stop Dietary Calcium Restriction in Kidney Stone–forming Patients

“…This reduction in urinary oxalate is because calcium is an oxalate binder, which diminishes intestinal absorption of oxalate. Several authors [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] have pointed out the in uence of extra loading of oxalate and/or calcium on oxalate metabolism during the last decade. As expected, loading oxalate caused an increase in urinary oxalate.…”
