Renal calcium conservation in recurrent stone-formers with idiopathic hypercalciuria. 1985

A Goulding, and A G Hocken

Urinary excretions of calcium and cyclic AMP were studied in male recurrent stone-formers after an overnight fast and following an oral calcium load. The results from eight patients with established hypercalciuria (greater than 7.5 mmol Ca/24 h) were compared with those from eight age matched normocalciuric stone-formers. The urinary calcium/creatinine ratio was higher in the hypercalciuric group both when fasting and calcium loaded whilst their urinary cyclic AMP was lower in both 24-h and calcium-loaded collections. Five of the eight hypercalciuric patients exhibited an increased urinary calcium/creatinine ratio whilst fasting. These findings support the view that renal calcium wasting, in association with suppression of parathyroid activity, is common among men with idiopathic hypercalciuria. Dietary calcium restriction may lead to bone loss in patients with obligatory renal calcium wasting and enteric adsorption is rarely applicable to the treatment of stone disease. Therefore, the demonstration of a high fasting urinary calcium/creatinine ratio is a strong indication for therapeutic agents which act to suppress renal calcium loss to treat hypercalciuria.

D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D012008 Recurrence The return of a sign, symptom, or disease after a remission. Recrudescence,Relapse,Recrudescences,Recurrences,Relapses
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
