Hipercalciuria idiopática en niños con infección del tracto urinario

Outcome of Vesico Ureteral Reflux in Children (VUR) and Idiopathic Hypercalciuria (IHC) associated with Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in Indian Children

“…As it is associated with recurrent UTI and severe grades of VUR, treatment and close monitoring for resolution of hypercalciuria is warranted. Incidence of idiopathic hypercalciuria was found to be negligible in the present study at 4 out of 405 cases (0.98%) of UTI which was statistically much lower than reported earlier in other populations at 16.29%, 16 % and 30 % by Balestracci A et al [6], Nacaroglu HT et al [14], and Sadeghi-Bojd S et al [26] respectively. Moreover, the spontaneous resolution of hypercalciuria without the dreaded complications portends a benign profile in Indian children.…”

“…Idiopathic hypercalciuria was defined as patients with normal calcemia (in the absence of conditions or drugs that may cause hypercalciuria) having urine calcium to creatinine ratio >0.8 in children 0-6 months; >0.6 in children aged 7-12 months old; >0.5 in the age 12-24 month and >0.2 in patients older than 2 years (measuring fasting urine sample) [6]. The hematological, pathological, microbiological and radiological findings were obtained from the case records and filled in the proforma for further assessment.…”
