Renal stone disease is commonly due to hypercalciuria [1, 2], which may be assessed either from a 24-hour urinary collection or from the fasting first morning urine. Hypercalciuria during childhood has been defined by a 24-hour calcium excretion greater than 3.5 mg/kg per day and/or calcium to creatinine ratio greater than 0.20 [3]. The alteration in the calcium transporting systems plays a pathogenetic role in promoting hypercalciuria [4, 5]. Since calcium reabsorption along the nephron is intimately related to that of other electrolytes and substances, it can be hypothesized that patients with hypercalciuria may have other renal tubular defects. The aim of the study was to investigate proximal tubular function (tubular reabsorption of sodium, potassium, phosphate and glucose) and distal tubular function (urinary concentrating capacity and acidifying capacity) in children with hypercalciuria.
