Key Supplements
- Potassium Citrate 30-60 mEq/day (alkalinizes urine, prevents calcium oxalate and uric acid stones—prescription or supplement form, most effective prevention)
- Magnesium Citrate 400-600mg/day (binds oxalate in gut, prevents absorption, reduces stone formation)
- Vitamin B6 50-100mg/day (reduces oxalate production—especially if hyperoxaluria)
- Chanca Piedra 500-1000mg 3x/day ('stone breaker' herb—traditional use for kidney stones, some evidence it helps pass stones, prevents formation, anti-spasmodic)
- Probiotics with Oxalobacter formigenes (degrades oxalate in gut—reduces absorption, strain often missing after antibiotics, difficult to find commercially)
- Vitamin K2 MK-7 200mcg (directs calcium to bones, away from soft tissues)
Key Lab Markers
- 24-hour urine collection (identifies metabolic abnormalities—hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria, hypocitraturia, low urine volume, guides treatment)
- Stone analysis (if stone passed or retrieved—determines composition, guides prevention)
- CT scan (gold standard—detects all stone types, size, location)
- Ultrasound (radiation-free—useful for follow-up, pregnancy, detects stones >5mm)
