摘要
We have established normal values for calcium/ creatinine (Ca/Cr) and oxalate/creatinine (Ox/Cr) ratios in 25 infants (aged 1-7 days) and 391 children (aged 1 month to 14.5 years) and compared these with values obtained in 137 children with post-glomerular haematuria and 27 with nephrolithiasis. Oxalate was measured by ion chromatography. Nomograms of Marshall and Robertson were used to calculate urine saturation to calcium oxalate. The Ca/Cr ratio was normally distributed whereas the Ox/Cr ratio had a log-normal distribution. The molar ratio of Ca/Cr was the lowest in the first days of life and the highest between 7 month and 1.5 years (mean +/- SD = 0.39 +/- 0.28 mmol/mmol). Following a slight decrease it stabilised by the age of 6 years (0.34 +/- 0.19 mmol/mmol). The highest Ox/Cr values were measured during the Ist month of life [geometric mean 133 (range 61 - 280) mu mol/mmol], followed by a gradual decrease until 11 years of age [mean 24 (range 6-82) mu mol/mmol]. Thirty-six haematuric children had hypercalciuria (26%), 23 had absorptive hypercalciuria, 13 renal type. Children with absorptive hypercalciuria on a calcium-restricted diet had significantly higher oxalate excretion than those with renal hypercalciuria and the control group [38 (range 28-49) vs. 22 (range 16-29) and 23 (range 22-27) mu mol/mol respectively, P <0.01]. Calcium oxalate urine saturation of stone patients was higher than that of patients with haematuria and the normal population (1.18 +/- 0.05 vs. 1.06 +/- 0.03, P <0.03 and 0.84 +/- 0.03, P <0.001 respectively). The measurement of Ca/Cr and Ox/Cr in first-morning urine samples is suitable for screening for hypercalciuria and hyperoxaluria. Interpretation of the values requires age-specific reference values. Both calcium and oxalate determinations should be part of the evaluation of patients with haematuria, hypercalciuria or nephrolithiasis.
