Abstract

Patients with recurrent stone disease and hypercalciuria were cleared up according to Nordin's schedule. In cases of absorptive hypercalciuria, an ion exchanger operating in the intestine, sodium cellulose phosphate (SCP), is applied under strict control of oxalate, calcium and magnesium excretion as well as ionized calcium in serum. Under treatment with SCP (27 patients), we found a reduction in the renal excretion of calcium and magnesium, and, as a side effect, a significant augmentation of the renal oxalate excretion. In cases of resorptive or resorptive/absorptive hypercalciuria, except in patients with primary HPT, 23 patients were mediated by thiazides (Esidrix). This drug effects a marked decrease of urinary calcium based on a higher rate of reabsorption of calcium in the distal tubule. No severe side effects especially primary HPT were observed.
