Sodium transport and bone mineral density in hypercalciuria with thiazide treatment

Abstract: Erythrocyte sodium-potassium (Na+/K+)-ATPase and sodium-lithium (Na+/Li+) countertransport activities were measured in 18 children (aged 9.6 years, range 6-16 years) with idiopathic hypercalciuria (IHU) to evaluate cellular Na handling. The effect of chronic thiazide administration on these parameters and on bone mineral density was also evaluated. Patients with IHU had significantly lower erythrocyte Na+/K+-ATPase activity than 23 age-matched healthy controls (mean +/- SEM 2,156 +/- 110 micromol P/l erythrocy… Show more

“…In addition, these studies have been cross-sectional, with some performing bone densitometry using dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technology, while others did not. Consequently, the published results are controversial [15][16][17][18][19], partially explaining why many clinicians are reluctant to prescribe thiazides to children. Although there is large body of evidence demonstrating the ability of hydrochlorothiazide to restore normocalciuria, little is known on the impact of such therapy on BMD, at least in children.…”

“…The main reason is the fact of being considered as a supplement, but studies with more detailed information on its effects in the pediatric population are lacking [102] . Studies by Reusz et al [103] and Schwaderer et al [104] demonstrated the beneficial effects of thiazides and/or potassium citrate on bone mineral density in children with IH. According to Srivastava et al [102] , drug therapy should be reserved for children with symptomatic hypercalcuria and/or rare monogenic disorders.…”
