At the beginning of the treatment, the overactive bladder-version 8 form was filled and potassium citrate 10 meq 2x2 dose was started to the patients. The effect of potassium citrate on the symptoms of overactive bladder disease was demonstrated by filling the overactive bladder-version 8 form after one month of treatment.ResultsA total of 82 people, 36 men and 46 women, participated in the study. Potassium citrate treatment caused a significant increase in urine pH levels (p<0.001). After potassium citrate treatment, there was a significant decrease in the score of the overactive bladder-version 8 form. (p<0.001). A positive correlation was found between age and overactive bladder-version 8 score change (p = 0.004).ConclusionPotassium citrate can be used in the treatment of overactive bladder disease. The effect of potassium citrate treatment on ameliorating overactive bladder symptoms is more distinct in elderly patients. Key Words: Renal stones, Potassium citrate, Overactive bladder.
