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)
