  2. Alkali citrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_citrate

    It is also used to increase urine pH (alkalinize urine) - this prevents uric acid stones and cystine stones (which form in cystinuria). [2] It is different from citric acid which is citrate bonded by hydrogen ions (or protons) making it acidic. [3] Citric acid does not alkalinize urine as alkali citrate does. [4]

  3. Alkalinizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkalinizing_agent

    Alkalinizing agents are drugs used to manage disorders associated with low pH. For example, they may be used to treat acidosis due to kidney failure.. Used for oral or parenteral therapy, sodium bicarbonate is the commonly preferred alkalinizing agent. [1]

  4. Click chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_chemistry

    Click chemistry is an approach to chemical synthesis that emphasizes efficiency, simplicity, selectivity, and modularity in chemical processes used to join molecular building blocks. It includes both the development and use of "click reactions", a set of simple, biocompatible chemical reactions that meet specific criteria like high yield, fast ...

  5. Alkaline diet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_diet

    While diets avoiding meat, poultry, cheese, and grains can be used in order to make the urine more alkaline (higher pH), difficulties in effectively predicting the effects of these diets have led to medications, rather than diet modification, as the preferred method of changing urine pH.

  6. Potassium citrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_citrate

    Potassium citrate is rapidly absorbed when given by mouth, and is excreted in the urine. [4] Since it is an alkaline salt, it is effective in reducing the pain and frequency of urination when these are caused by highly acidic urine. [5] It is used for this purpose in dogs and cats, but is chiefly employed as a non-irritating diuretic.

  7. Urinal deodorizer block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinal_deodorizer_block

    [clarification needed] Para-dichlorobenzene- and naphthalene-based blocks do not readily dissolve in water/urine, but easily sublime into the air, creating a sickly-sweet odor that has anti-microbial effects.

  8. Renal compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_compensation

    Kidneys within the human body, where renal compensation takes place. Renal compensation is a mechanism by which the kidneys can regulate the plasma pH.It is slower than respiratory compensation, but has a greater ability to restore normal values.

  9. Artificial urinary sphincter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_urinary_sphincter

    The urethral cuff is deflated manually by pressing the control pump that is placed in the scrotum, allowing the patient to empty the bladder. The urethral cuff then re-inflates automatically to refill the urethral cuff and once again prevent urine from leaking. [20] [21] The list includes AUS models available in 2023:
