Urinary acidifiers are a class of therapeutic agents that lower urinary pH, creating an acidic environment within the renal collecting system and lower urinary tract.
By delivering systemic acid loads or acidic ions—such as ammonium chloride, monobasic sodium or potassium phosphates, and ascorbic acid—these agents increase urinary hydrogen ion concentration.
Their primary therapeutic role is to increase the solubility of alkaline-dependent mineral deposits, enhance the antibacterial efficacy of pH-sensitive urinary antiseptics like methenamine, and discourage bacterial proliferation.
Consequently, urinary acidifiers are primarily used in the management and prevention of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) urolithiasis, catheter encrustation, and as adjunctive therapy for recurrent urinary tract infections.
