A comparison of induced effects on urinary calcium by thiazides and different dietary salt doses: Implications in clinical practice.

CONCLUSIONS: Salt intake in the population studied was estimated to be 14.9±4.9g/day with a positive correlation found between sodium and calcium urine output with daily intakes of 11.25 and 16.25g of salt. With the usual intake, for each gram of salt, urinary calcium increased by 5.46 mg/24 h and with 100mg of Higroton® it decreased by 50.7mg/24h. These data could be useful for the management of patients with excretory hypercalciuria or hypoparathyroidism. PMID: 30104094 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
