Possible Causes for calciuria

Neonatal Severe Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Biologically, children present with extremely high serum calcium and serum PTH levels and a relative hypocalciuria, but in some cases they present with a markedly elevated calciuria [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Idiopathic Hypercalcuria

Patients with AHC have excessive calciuria after an oral calcium load. [pathology.leedsth.nhs.uk]

Adherence to a low salt, normal calcium level diet for some months can reduce calciuria and oxaluria. [cochrane.org]

Thiazides plus potassium salts significantly decreased calciuria and vitamin D levels. [cochrane.org]

Crystalluria

Conversely, calciuria as well as the citrate/ calcium ratio and the Parks index varied significantly for stone formers and normal controls. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There was no relationship between the degree of calciuria (normo- versus hypercalciuric RCU) and crystalluria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Crystalluric subjects (n 7) had significantly higher uricosuria (p 0.02), calciuria (p 0.04), magnesiuria (p 0.04) and calcium oxalate molar product (p 0.05) than noncrystalluric [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Osteoporosis

As to the increased calciuria that can be observed in response to an augmentation in either animal or vegetal proteins it can be explained by a stimulation of the intestinal [doi.org]

Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia Type 3

Hereditary Hypophosphatemic Rickets with Hypercalciuria

Calciuria was determined from 24-hours urine at the initial study and posterior values were obtained by calcium/creatinine ratio. [scielo.mec.pt]

This complication occurs due to hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and hyperparathyroidism secondary to transient hyperphosphatemia, 7 highlighting the need to monitor calciuria [scielo.br]

[…] emphasized that the index patient (patient 1) manifested severe short stature and bowed legs, and the biochemical assessment revealed hypophosphatemia, phosphaturia and calciuria [jcrpe.org]

Thiazides reduce calciuria and thus contribute to the severity of hypercalcemia. [jasn.asnjournals.org]

The kidneys act as one of the regulatory elements of calcium homeostasis by increasing or decreasing calciuria. [jasn.asnjournals.org]
