Abstract Background and Aims Hypertension is frequently associated with hypercalciuria1, nephrolithiasis2 low bone mineral density. Familial Hyperkalaemic (FHHt) causes hypercalciuria3, although complications of this are not reported. Method We examined a cohort 9 patients genetically confirmed FHHt. Biochemical, radiological, clinical data was obtained in before after thiazide treatment. All g...

1. Variations with age in body weight, urine volume and calcium and creatinine excretion were determined in 246 normal subjects and 305 patients with calciumcontaining renal stones. 2. Body weight, urine volume and creatinine excretion increased with age to a maximum in the third decade in both male and female controls and stone-formers. Thereafter body weight and urine volume did not change ap...

In this study, we analyzed the effect of a therapeutic intervention in 46 enuretic children, 26 (57%) of whom were hypercalciuric. All the patients (n = 46) were treated with DDAVP for 3-6 mo. The hypercalciuric patients (n = 26) received a low-calcium diet (approximately 500 mg/day) for the same period. After the therapy, the bed-wetting episodes stopped in 80% of the 46 patients tested. In th...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether nocturnal enuresis (NE) can be caused by absorptive hypercalciuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 1981 to 1995, 406 patients with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis were studied. Up to 1989 (Group 1), urinary electrolytes and urinary creatinine were not evaluated, but since 1990 (Group 2) these tests have been performed routinely. ...

A urine sample submitted for a urinary calcium-to-creatinine ratio was visually clear but deep orange in color (Fig. 1, left). Acidification of the sample to pH 2.0 with HCl prior to analysis produced a color change in the sample from orange to deep red (Fig. 1, right). The 16-year-old female patient had a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome, oligomenorrhea, and vitamin D deficiency and a su...

Background: Hypertensive disorders represent the most common medical complication of pregnancy complicating 5 to 10% all pregnancies. Several changes have already occurred before development clinical syndrome preeclampsia. One such change occurs in renal function leading hypo-calciuria. Thus, present study, urinary calcium creatinine ratio (UCCR) and doppler study are tested as parameters predi...

Recent dietary life involves frequent opportunities for the ingestion of purified, processed food products and preserved foods, and it has been pointed out that the current dietary mineral intake strongly tends toward nutritional imbalance. The Ryukyu Islands yield coral which contains calcium and magnesium in a content ratio of about 2 to 1, with their approximate contents of 20 and 10%, respe...
