Calciuria shows a dose-effect relationship with nephrolithiasis in patients with familial idiopathic hypercalciuria.
Researchers from Tenon Hospital, Paris and other French centres, enrolled subjects from 33 families with idiopathic hypercalciuria. Previous studies suggested that around 40 percent of nephrolithiasis patients suffer from idiopathic hypercalciuria.
The authors defined hypercalciuria as a ratio of calciuria-to-weight of >0.1 mmol/kg/day. Based on this, 132 subjects were hypercalciuric. Sixty-three subjects were normocalciuric. Forty-six percent of hypercalciuric subjects reported nephrolithiasis. This compared to 11 percent among normocalciuric volunteers.
