We thank the authors for their interest in our manuscript, and we acknowledge their concerns regarding the potential downstream effects of elevated sodium intake in our AA patients. While we agree that the recommendation of a low sodium diet ( ≤2300mg daily) is frequently offered to nephrolithiasis patients for conservative dietary management due to concern for the correlation between increased sodium intake and hypercalciuria, the two prospective studies in which low sodium diet was correlated to decreased urine calcium were performed in patients in hypercalciuric patients with elevated baseline 24-hr urine sodium.
