A comparison of induced effects on urinary calcium by thiazides and different dietary salt doses: Implications in clinical practice.

Introduction: Both dietary restriction of sodium chloride (NaCl) and treatment with thiazides have been used in hypercalciuric patients.

Objectives: To calculate regular salt intake and investigate the correlation between natriuresis and urinary calcium with usual diet (B) and after changing the amount of NaCl intake and administration of thiazides.

Material And Methods: Nineteen healthy young individuals had their diet replaced by 2l of Nutrison Low Sodium (500mg sodium/day) daily for two days.
