Kidney complications in primary hypercalciuria: Conclusions
Clinical findings indicate that primary hypercalciuria predisposes affected subjects to nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis, even though its specific pathogenetic role has not been elucidated in both disorders. The effect of hypercalciuria is likely to depend on unusually high calcium concentrations in urine or tubular fluid of patients. When calcium concentrations exceed the threshold for precipitation, calcium [...]
