Abstract
Different mechanisms could explain the elevated calcium elimination, the main cause of calcium oxalate renal stones. Our results suggest that phosphate levels are decreased in patients with absorptive hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis and elevated serum dihydroxyvitamin D. This could be the reason why in this group of patients oral phosphate treatment prevented hypercalciuria and renal lithiasis.Entities:
