ABSTRACT

Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a disease responsible for a great number of cases of nephrolithiasis. Nevertheless, it is not a disease about which one usually thinks. We must understand by idiopathic hypercalciuria, an increased renal excretion of calcium with serum concentrations within normal levels, having discarded other causes. The main identified mechanism consists of an excessive intestinal calcium absorption which, eventually, increases its concentrations in the urine. The identification of this disease is important since, once implemented the suitable handling, it will be possible to diminish the rate of new episodes of calcium containing nephrolithiasis.
