Urocit-K (potassium citrate) is a medication used to treat renal tubular acidosis which is a kidney stone condition. Urocit-K may also be used to prevent gout, kidney stones and other problems caused by kidney disease. Urocit-K makes your urine less acidic which helps your kidneys to get rid of uric acid.
