Hypocalciuria as a Predictor of Reduced Intestinal Calcium Absorption.

ABSTRACT: Impaired intestinal calcium absorption contributes to osteoporosis, but its measurement is limited to research settings. We hypothesized that 24-hour urine calcium (24HUC) values could diagnose low fractional calcium absorption (FCA). We performed a post hoc analysis of clinical trial data to determine whether 24HUC predicted low FCA compared with the gold standard dual calcium isotope method. Two hundred thirty postmenopausal women <75 years old without osteoporosis underwent 445 FCA measurements using calcium isotopes (8 mg of oral 44Ca, 3 mg of intravenous 42Ca) and a 24-hour inpatient urine collection at 0 and 12 months. We determined subjects' total calcium intake via review of food diaries and supplements. Net calcium absorption (NCA) was total calcium intake × FCA. NCA and 24HUC values demonstrated a positive correlation (r = 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.25 to 0.42; P < 0.001). We calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for the ability of 24HUC thresholds to predict calcium malabsorption. When low calcium absorption was defined as <120 mg/d, a 24HUC value <150 mg demonstrated 65% sensitivity, 67% specificity, 31% PPV, and 89% NPV. When calcium malabsorption was defined as <100 mg/d, a 24HUC value <150 mg demonstrated 72% sensitivity, 65% specificity, 22% PPV, and 94% NPV. A 24HUC value <150 mg demonstrated a high NPV for calcium malabsorption. We suggest that 24HUC levels can exclude calcium malabsorption in postmenopausal women.

Project description:Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a frequent defect in calcium kidney stone formers that is associated with high intestinal calcium absorption and osteopenia. Characteristics distinguishing hypercalciuric stone formers from hypercalciuric patients without kidney stone history (HNSFs) are unknown and were explored in our study.We compared 172 hypercalciuric stone formers with 36 HNSFs retrospectively selected from patients referred to outpatient clinics of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan from 1998 to 2003. Calcium metabolism and lumbar bone mineral density were analyzed in these patients. A strontium oral load test was performed: strontium was measured in 240-minute urine and serum 30, 60, and 240 minutes after strontium ingestion; serum strontium concentration-time curve and renal strontium clearance were evaluated to estimate absorption and excretion of divalent cations.Serum strontium concentration-time curve (P<0.001) and strontium clearance (4.9±1.3 versus 3.5±2.7 ml/min; P<0.001) were higher in hypercalciuric stone formers than HNSFs, respectively. The serum strontium-time curve was also higher in hypercalciuric stone formers with low bone mineral density (n=42) than in hypercalciuric stone formers with normal bone mineral density (n=130; P=0.03) and HNSFs with low (n=22; P=0.01) or normal bone mineral density (n=14; P=0.02). Strontium clearance was greater in hypercalciuric stone formers with normal bone mineral density (5.3±3.4 ml/min) than in hypercalciuric stone formers and HNSFs with low bone mineral density (3.6±2.5 and 3.1±2.5 ml/min, respectively; P=0.03). Multivariate regression analyses displayed that strontium absorption at 30 minutes was positively associated calcium excretion (P=0.03) and negatively associated with lumbar bone mineral density z score (P=0.001) in hypercalciuric stone formers; furthermore, hypercalciuric patients in the highest quartile of strontium absorption had increased stone production risk (odds ratio, 5.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.2 to 20.9; P=0.03).High calcium absorption in duodenum and jejunum may expose hypercalciuric patients to the risk of stones because of increased postprandial calcium concentrations in urine and tubular fluid. High calcium absorption may identify patients at risk of bone loss among stone formers.

Project description:Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery has negative effects on bone, mediated in part by effects on nutrient absorption. Not only can RYGB result in vitamin D malabsorption, but the bypassed duodenum and proximal jejunum are also the predominant sites of active, transcellular, 1,25(OH)2 D-mediated calcium (Ca) uptake. However, Ca absorption occurs throughout the intestine, and those who undergo RYGB might maintain sufficient Ca absorption, particularly if vitamin D status and Ca intake are robust. We determined the effects of RYGB on intestinal fractional Ca absorption (FCA) while maintaining ample 25OHD levels (goal ?30?ng/mL) and Ca intake (1200?mg daily) in a prospective cohort of 33 obese adults (BMI 44.7?±?7.4?kg/m(2)). FCA was measured preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively with a dual stable isotope method. Other measures included calciotropic hormones, bone turnover markers, and BMD by DXA and QCT. Mean 6-month weight loss was 32.5?±?8.4?kg (25.8%?±?5.2% of preoperative weight). FCA decreased from 32.7%?±?14.0% preoperatively to 6.9%?±?3.8% postoperatively (p?<?0.0001), despite median (interquartile range) 25OHD levels of 41.0 (33.1 to 48.5) and 36.5 (28.8 to 40.4) ng/mL, respectively. Consistent with the FCA decline, 24-hour urinary Ca decreased, PTH increased, and 1,25(OH)2 D increased (p???0.02). Bone turnover markers increased markedly, areal BMD decreased at the proximal femur, and volumetric BMD decreased at the spine (p?<?0.001). Those with lower postoperative FCA had greater increases in serum CTx (??=?-0.43, p?=?0.01). Declines in FCA and BMD were not correlated over the 6 months. In conclusion, FCA decreased dramatically after RYGB, even with most 25OHD levels ?30?ng/mL and with recommended Ca intake. RYGB patients may need high Ca intake to prevent perturbations in Ca homeostasis, although the approach to Ca supplementation needs further study. Decline in FCA could contribute to the decline in BMD after RYGB, and strategies to avoid long-term skeletal consequences should be investigated.
