Sodium citrate is an alkalinizing agent and anticoagulant used mainly to treat metabolic acidosis, as a buffer in various settings, and as an additive to blood products to prevent coagulation by chelating calcium. It is also used as a urine alkalizer and to treat renal tubular acidosis. Sodium citrate is an approved drug and is widely used in medical settings today.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adults, as literature with precise PK models reporting specific model parameters (such as compartmental volumes and clearance values) is lacking; parameter values are estimated based on known pharmacokinetic behavior of citrate in humans.
