Fractioned calcium excretion in the urine
Material: | 10 ml spontaneous urine and contemporaneous taking of 1 ml serum or plasma |
Methods: | Spektrometrie → UV- / VIS-Photometrie | Reference range | > 0,02 pHPT likely |
Indication | Differentiation between familial hypercalcemic hypocalcuria (FHH) and primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) |
Please note | Familial hypercalcemic hypocalciuria (FHH) as well as vitamin-D deficiency should urgently be excluded, especially on suspicion of asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism. When testing for calcium in the 24-hour urine, FHH may cause hypocalciuria as well as in some cases- such as pHPT-normocalciuria, the fractioned calcium excretion from spontaneous urine and serum/plasma should be sought for differentiation between the two clinical pictures.
Fractional calcium excretion = Calcium concentration in serum x creatinine concentration in urine
