Resorptive and absorptive hypercalciuria. Therapy with sodium cellulose phosphate or thiazides. 1979

F Hering, and W Lutzeyer

Patients with recurrent stone disease and hypercalciuria were cleared up according to Nordin's schedule. In cases of absorptive hypercalciuria, an ion exchanger operating in the intestine, sodium cellulose phosphate (SCP), is applied under strict control of oxalate, calcium and magnesium excretion as well as ionized calcium in serum. Under treatment with SCP (27 patients), we found a reduction in the renal excretion of calcium and magnesium, and, as a side effect, a significant augmentation of the renal oxalate excretion. In cases of resorptive or resorptive/absorptive hypercalciuria, except in patients with primary HPT, 23 patients were mediated by thiazides (Esidrix). This drug effects a marked decrease of urinary calcium based on a higher rate of reabsorption of calcium in the distal tubule. No severe side effects especially primary HPT were observed.

D010710	Phosphates	Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid.	Inorganic Phosphate,Phosphates, Inorganic,Inorganic Phosphates,Orthophosphate,Phosphate,Phosphate, Inorganic
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.
