Salt intake in the population studied was estimated to be 14.9±4.9g/day with a positive correlation found between sodium and calcium urine output with daily intakes of 11.25 and 16.25g of salt. With the usual intake, for each gram of salt, urinary calcium increased by 5.46 mg/24 h and with 100mg of Higroton it decreased by 50.7mg/24h. These data could be useful for the management of patients with excretory hypercalciuria or hypoparathyroidism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
