Hypophosphatemic Rickets with Hypercalciuria due to Mutation in SLC34A3/Type IIc Sodium-Phosphate Cotransporter: Presentation as Hypercalciuria and Nephrolithiasis
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 10/15/2009

Tencza AL et al. – The authors report a novel mutation in the SLC34A3 gene in a patient with an unusual presentation of HHRH ... moderate and severe hypercalciuria can be manifestations of heterozygous or homozygous loss–of–function mutations in the SLC34A3 gene, respectively, providing further evidence for a gene dosage effect in determining the phenotype. HHRH may be an underdiagnosed condition that can ... hypercalciuria or osteopenia. [more...]

Bone disease and hypercalciuria in children
Pediatric Nephrology, 11/11/2009

Zerwekh JE et al. – There have been relatively few studies of bone mass in children with idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH). Optimal bone mineral accretion during childhood and adolescence is important in attaining peak bone mass and may serve to ... development of osteoporosis in adulthood. Thus, a better understanding of bone loss in children with IH is warranted. [more...]

similar to our adult series. Hypercalciuria was the most frequent metabolic abnormality found. Yet, hypocitraturia (alone or in combination) was very frequent, and in the subgroup of patients of 17–20 years, it was as frequent as idiopathic hypercalciuria, similar to what we found in children [more...]

urine calcium levels. Corrected levels showed excellent agreement with 24-hour measurements. Until validation, providers should diagnose hypercalciuria using 24-hour tests. Methods During a 28-inpatient calcium absorption studies in 16 postmenopausal women, we simultaneously ... paired SUCCR and 24HUC specimens (r?=?0.57, p?=?0.002), but the SUCCR underestimated 24HUC by a mean of 83 mg (Bland–Altman Hypercalciuria (24HUC >250 mg) was diagnosed in 8 specimens using the 24HUC, but only in two specimens using the SUCCR (25% sensitivity) A regression model was [more...]

Update on the efficacy, safety, and adherence to treatment of full length parathyroid hormone, PTH (1-84), in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis
International Journal of Women's Health, 11/18/2009

and bone volume in trabecular sites were also reported. Moreover, a bone volume increase was detected in cortical sites. Hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria are frequent consequences of PTH treatment, but rarely have clinical effects and are usually well controlled by reducing calcium and vitamin D [more...]
