Objectives: Idiopathic hypercalciuria may infer not only an increased risk of nephrolithiasis but may also be associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in adults. However, little is known about relationships between hypercalciuria, oxaluria, urolithiasis, citraturia and fracture risk in children. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate associations between hypercalciuria, urinary oxalate and citrate, BMD and fractures in hypercalciuric children.<p cl...
