Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims Hypercalciuria can clinically present itself as gross hematuria, microscopic hematuria, dysuria or abdominal pain without urinary lithiasis. It is also one of main metabolic causes of urinary lithiasis in children. In Nelson pediatrics, hypercalciuria is defined by a 24 -hour urine for calcium excretion>4mg/kg/day. A spot urine calcium creatinine ratio of >0.2, is considered abnormal in older children and adolescents. Both of them are not a standardized detect in children. Fasting and postprandial spot urinary calcium creatinine ratios may not detect hypercalciuria so accurately, that a 24-hour urine is preferred. In addition, 24hr urine collection is frequently under- or over-collected, which leads to an inadequate sampling hard to pick up which one the more accurate calculating methodology for the hypercalciuria detection with 24hr urine is. In this study, we evaluated the comparisons of 24 hr urine calcium creatinine ratio(Ca/Cr), 24hr urine calcium excretion(mg/kg)(Ca/Kg) and CCCR in school aged children. 24-hour urine for calcium excretion>4mg/kg/day 24-hour urine calcium creatinine ratio of >0.2 Calcium creatinine clearance ratio(CCCR); (24-hour U-calcium/P-total calcium) / (24-hour U-creatinine/P-creatinine), as known as fractional excretion of calcium(FeCa) Method We enrolled 250 normal kidney function patients who’s age is 7 to 18 year, was able to collect 24 hr urine in a single hospital unit. We conducted 24 hr urine collection, serum calcium creatinine levels on the same day from January 2007 to December 2019. We analyze of each values. We used SPSS. 25.0 Results
