Lithoren® is a food for special medical purposes (FSMP) that contains potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, and pyridoxine with physiological action. Lithoren® does not contain sodium. Under medical supervision, it can be used in the dietetic management of some of the most common metabolic disorders that predispose to kidney stones such as:
1) Hypocitraturia (in the dietetic management of low urine citrate as it contains citrates).
2) Hyperoxaluria (in the dietetic management of high urine oxalate as it contains pyridoxine).
3) Hypercalciuria (in the case of high urine calcium excretion because citrates are known for their ability to complex urine calcium)
4) Hypomagnesiuria (in the dietetic management of low urine magnesium as it contains magnesium).
5) Urine Alkalizer (in the normalization of urine pH, in cases of increased urine acidity. Increased urine acidity is a common finding in patients with uric acid stones. Also, the disrupted ability of the kidneys to properly acidify urine is a common finding in patients with renal tubular acidosis).
