OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of hypercalciuria (HC) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and its relationship with clinical data and bone mineral metabolism. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Calciuria was measured in 24-hour urine samples of 127 women. BMD was measured in the lumbar spine and femur by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). RESULTS: Mean age (±SD) was 64 (±8) years. According to urinary calcium excretion, patients were divided into normo- and hypercalciuric (HC). Of the 127 patients, 19 (15%) were classified as HC. The only difference between the groups was the age of onset of menopause (46 ± 6 vs. 50 ± 3 years HC, p < 0.0005). No association was found between calciuria and age, BMI, BMD, calcium, phosphorus, PTH, and alkaline phosphatase. CONCLUSION: HC is frequent in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, and calciuria measurement should be included in the investigation of these patients.
