[Diagnosis of hypercalciuria in calcium nephrolithiasis (author's transl)]. 1980

J Joost, and B Puschendorf

An increased calcium excretion in 24-hour urine was found in 32 of 42 out-patients with recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis (calcium excretion > 300 mg in males, > 250 mg in females). Subsequent hospitalization of the 32 patients revealed the following diagnosis after a calcium tolerance test: absorptive hypercalciuria in 18, renal hypercalciuria in 4, primary hyperparathyroidism in 2 and dietary hypercalciuria in 7. Normocalciuria in 10 out-patients was confirmed in 6; in one instance there was, however, primary hyperparathyroidism, in 3 there was absorptive hypercalciuria. In one patient it was not possible to classify the hypercalciuria. Total as well as nephrogenic cAMP showed wide scatter and was unsuitable, therefore, in differential diagnosis. In 2 of 3 cases of hyperparathyroidism the serum level of parathormone was distinctly elevated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006961 Hyperparathyroidism A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
D007669 Kidney Calculi Stones in the KIDNEY, usually formed in the urine-collecting area of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS). Their sizes vary and most contains CALCIUM OXALATE.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

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.
