Alkalinisation of Urine in Patients with Infections of the Urinary Tract
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Urinary alkalinisation is a common practice in the management of dysuria in patients with urinary tract infection. Although there is wide empirical experience with this approach, scientific literature is limited. The mechanisms by which modifying urinary pH reduces dysuria are still poorly understood. This brief review examines the theory and practical implementation of urinary alkalinisation in patients with infections of the urinary tract and dysuria.
