Abstract
Four patients with renal stones had hypercalciuria which was dependent on a high sodium intake. Moderate sodium restriction corrected the hypercalciuria. Sodium excretion should be measured in all patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria so that the easily treated sodium-dependent hypercalciuria can be diagnosed.
