Introduction
Excess Ca+2 in the urine.
Etiology
- genetic
- absorptive hypercalcemia
- familial distal renal tubular acidosis
- Bartter syndrome
- familial hypocalciuric hypocalcemia
- vitamin D excess
- malignancy associated with
- bone resorption
- PTH-related protein secretion
- primary hyperparathyroidism
- vitamin D & calcium supplementation in postmenopausal women[3]
- sarcoidosis[2]
- idiopathic calciuria[4]
Epidemiology
- most common metabolic abnormality in patients with Ca+2-containing urinary calculi
Laboratory
- 24 hour urine calcium > 300 mg/day
Complications
- urinary calculi, Ca+2-containing stones
Management
- treat underlying etiology
- an increase in dietary calcium paradoxically decreases risk of calcium oxalate stone formation & recurrence[2]
- thiazide diuretics inhibit renal tubule excretion of Ca+2
- thiazide diuretic is recommended for nephrolithiasis associated with idiopathic hypercalciuria even in the absence of hypertension or edema[2]
