Abstract
Calcium balances and calcium kinetic studies using 47Ca were performed in nine male patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria and in three normal male subjects. A sharp reduction in calcium intake in eight patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria caused a decrease in urinary calcium excretion, the latter remaining elevated above that reported for normal subjects on a low calcium diet. The hypercalciuric patients had an enlarged miscible calcium pool size, an increased calcium turnover rate, increased bone formation and bone resorption rates, and an elevated true intestinal calcium absorption rate, the increase of the latter three parameters being proportional to the increase of the turnover rate. The fraction of the calcium turnover rate excreted in the urine was elevated whereas that constituted by the endogenous fecal calcium excretion was decreased. Arguments are presented for the concept that the primary abnormality in idiopathic hypercalciuria is neither renal calcium hyperexcretion nor intestinal calcium hyperreabsorption, but a more fundamental disturbance in calcium metabolism of as yet unknown cause, leading to a high calcium turnover.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
