Citrate concentrations in the test and the control group (Kruskal-Wallis test)
| Citrate levels | Test group (n=34), mean ± SD | Control group (n=34), mean ± SD | Significance of difference, (df=1) |
| Plasma citrate level (mg/L) | 16.33±4.51 | 19.11±3.66 | p=0.0036* |
| Urine citrate level (mg/24 hours) | 291.12±259.13 | 434.88±357.66 | p=0.052 |
| Urine citrate (mg)/creatine (g) ratio | 275.82±217.57 | 329.81±383.27 | p=0.4667 |
*Difference was significant at the p<0.05 level.
n, number of patients.
