Some patients with hypercalciuria are thought to have enhanced enteric calcium absorption, with a major component of recent diet contributing to urinary calcium. This mechanism has been difficult to test with the usual calcium loading procedures. We employed dual stable calcium isotope tracers to quantitate the components of urinary calcium excretion in 38 healthy female children. The mean urinary calcium excretion in these girls was 2.4 mg/kg per day. The contribution of recent diet to this total was a mean of 0.2 mg/kg per day. The maximum dietary contribution to urinary calcium excretion was 0.86 mg/kg per day. Recent diet contributes a mean of 8% to total dietary calcium excretion. This novel method permits precise quantitation of the contributions of recent diet and tissue stores to urinary calcium excretion. In these healthy girls, the fraction of urinary calcium derived from diet is trivial.
