We studied 44 patients with calcium urolithiasis on high (900 mg. daily) and low (400 mg. daily) calcium diets. With 24-hour urinary data, we categorized the patients as normocalciuric or hypercalciuric and subdivided the hypercalciuric patients into absorptive and renal types. Abbreviated tests, including the 2-hour fasting urinary calcium-to-creatinine ratio and 24-hour urinary (nephrogenous) cyclic adenosine monophosphate, did not predict accurately whether hypercalciuria was of the idiopathic, absorptive or renal type. However, 24-hour urinary calcium excretions on the low calcium diet had a sensitivity and specificity of more than 90 per cent for reproducing the categorized diagnoses.
