Abstract
Oral orthophosphate treatment was given to 33 subjects with idiopathic hypercalciuria, 28 of them with calcium salt lithiasis. A decrease in urinary calcium excretion was observed in 31 of the subjects. The treatment appeared clinically beneficial in 8 out of 11 patients with metabolically active stone disease. Indications and contraindications to oral orthophosphate treatment are discussed.Keywords
