“…However, regardless of low urine volume, hypercalciuria was more common than other evaluated metabolic disorder in our study (17.81%). About 1% of patients with nephrolithiasis may suffer from primary hyperparathyroidism [9] while idiopathic hypercalciuria, which was described by Albright et al is the most common cause of hypercalciuria [10].…”

“…The term 'idiopathic hypercalciuria' (IH) was originally proposed by Albright et al [1] in 1953 to describe the association of elevated urinary calcium excretion with a normal serum calcium level in patients with calciumcontaining renal stones. Interest in the pathogenesis and management of IH has been sustained by the fact that it is one of the most-common metabolic abnormalities in humans and is present in approximately 60% of individuals with nephrolithiasis [2].…”

Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a common metabolic abnormality in children of all ages. There is evidence of an association of idiopathic hypercalciuria with nephrolithiasis, hematuria, and osteoporosis. However, much of this evidence is anecdotal and the precise role of hypercalciuria in the pathogenesis of these conditions is far from clear. Furthermore, the precise definition of idiopathic hypercalciuria has not yet been established. The methodologies for quantitating urinary calcium excretion have also not been standardized, adding another potential confounding factor to the accurate interpretation of urinary calcium excretion. Long-term studies on the natural history of unselected children with idiopathic hypercalciuria are needed to establish the true clinical significance of this condition. The focus of this review is to critically evaluate the methods currently being used to measure urinary calcium excretion in children and to assess the validity of existing criteria for diagnosing idiopathic hypercalciuria.

“…Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) was first described by Albright et al [1], who defined it as an excessive urinary calcium loss accompanied by normal serum calcium levels. IH is the most common metabolic abnormality in patients with nephrolithiasis, accounting for 30-50% of calciumoxalate stone formers [2][3][4].…”
