Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Citrate inhibits the formation of kidney stones. In patients suffering from kidney stones, a low citrate level in the urine can be detected in 20-60% of cases (hypocitraturia). The cause of hypocitraturia is usually idiopathic, but can also be influenced by various other factors, including renal tubular acidosis, hypokalemia, diet and genetic causes.

This panel examines the most common genetic causes of hypocitraturia and renal tubular acidosis. Because the pathogenesis is not fully understood, a normal finding does not rule out the presence of a genetic cause for hypocitraturia.
