Potassium Citrate REQUIRES AN MD
One can see by the structure, that potassium citrate has many oxygen molecules. The sodium citrate molecule is very similar.

Below are several potassium citrate articles by the Tanners. Their experiments show that an alkalinizing salt of citrate is helpful in slowing the progression of PKD polycystic kidney disease.
Potassium citrate improves renal function in PKD rats 1998
What is potassium citrate? A very effective alkalizer. The above paper is what started it all. This was the first publication on the effectiveness of potassium
citrate in diminishing PKD polycystic kidney disease. Sodium citrate is as effective as potassium citrate. Calcium citrate seems less so. The animals given potassium citrate lived 17 months as
opposed to their counterparts who lived 10 months. Animals fed potassium citrate had smaller cystic kidneys and lived almost twice as long.
Thanks to the continued work of these PKD researchers, taking potassium citrate is now recognized as a possible means of decreasing kidney cysts.
It is an exclusion for participating in Tolvaptan clinical trials as it has been noted there is some evidence that it could help diminish kidney cysts.
Citrate therapy for PKD in rats. 2000
Citrate salts that have an alkalinizing effect preserve kidney functioning and extend survival. Potassium helps. Citrate helps. But it is alkalinity
Dietary citrate treatment of PKD in rats 2003
Starting alkalizing later is not as effective as starting it early.
Dietary potassium citrate does not harm the pcy mouse. 2005
No species of the PKD model was harmed by potassium citrate. Potassium citrate in the feed does not affect the progression of renal cystic disease in the
pcy mouse. This model closely resembles human adolescent nephronophthisis. Potassium citrate has been used for years to effectively treat kidney stones
There are no literature reports of adverse reactions from taking monitored potassium citrate.
