Acerola C Disease Interactions
There are 4 disease interactions with Acerola C (ascorbic acid).
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (applies to Acerola C) hemolysis
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: G-6-PD Deficiency
Acute hemolysis following administration of high doses of ascorbic acid in patients with glucose-6-phosphate deficiency (G6PD) has been reported. Ascorbic acid should be administered cautiously and dosages modified in patients with G6PD.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (applies to Acerola C) kidney stones
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Nephrolithiasis
Large doses of ascorbic acid have lead to hyperoxaluria in 5% of patients. Ascorbic acid can acidify urine resulting in precipitation of urate, cystine, or oxalate stones. Ascorbic acid should be administered cautiously and dosages modified in patients predisposed to renal stones. Clinical monitoring of urinalysis for pH and crystal formation is recommended.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (applies to Acerola C) sodium
Moderate Potential Hazard, Low plausibility. Applicable conditions: Hypernatremia, Hypertension
Ascorbic acid preparations contain sodium. The sodium content should be considered when used in patients with sodium restricted diets and conditions require sodium restriction, such as congestive heart failure, hypertension, and fluid retention.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (applies to Acerola C) dialysis
Minor Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: hemodialysis
Ascorbic acid is removed by dialysis.
