Renal silicon handling was investigated in 23 healthy adults using electrothermal atomic absorption techniques. The mean urinary silicon excretion was 33.1 +/- 3.85 mg/day; the mean renal silicon clearance was 88.6 +/- 7.94 ml/min; the mean fractional excretion of silicon was 86.35 +/- 8.1%, and the mean urine silicon concentration was 0.265 micrograms/ml. Using multiple correlation analysis, the urinary silicon was found to be highly significantly correlated with the urine magnesium concentration (p less than 0.001) and also with urinary sodium and urinary osmolality (p less than 0.01). 24-hour urinary silicon excretion was highly significantly correlated with fractional excretion of silicon (p less than 0.001), sodium (p less than 0.001), phosphorus (p less than 0.001), magnesium (p less than 0.001), and osmolar load. In split urine studies in 7 subjects urinary silicon was correlated highly significantly with urinary magnesium in all 7 and with urinary osmolality, urine calcium, and urine creatine concentration in 6 of 7. There was a highly significant correlation between renal silicon clearance and fractional excretion of silicon (p less than 0.0005), with magnesium excretion (p less than 0.01), and with sodium excretion. It is suggested that ion pairing of orthosilicate and magnesium may explain some of these urinary findings.
