Urinary volume was 22.2 ± 2.0ml. per kg. per day in healthy children and 25.4 ± 2.0ml. per kg. per day in children with hypercalciuria, and it was similar in children with absorptive and renal hypercalciuria, and significantly lower in children with idiopathic calcium oxalate urolithiasis (12.2 ± 1.4ml. per kg. per day, p less than 0.001 from controls and children with hypercalciuria). Volume was not statistically different in hypercalciuric children with and without urolithiasis. Urinary sodium excretion in children with idiopathic calculi was not statistically different from controls. Urine osmolality was similar among the groups. Urinary volume represents a risk factor in children with idiopathic calcium oxalate urolithiasis, and increased fluid intake should be emphasized in such patients. © 1989 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByTasian G and Copelovitch L (2018) Evaluation and Medical Management of Kidney Stones in ChildrenJournal of Urology, VOL. 192, NO. 5, (1329-1336), Online publication date: 1-Nov-2014.Jackson E (2014) Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Getting Families to Change Behaviors to Reduce Pediatric Stone Disease RecurrenceJournal of Urology, VOL. 192, NO. 5, (1324-1325), Online publication date: 1-Nov-2014.Penido M, Srivastava T and Alon U (2018) Pediatric Primary Urolithiasis: 12-Year Experience at a Midwestern Children's HospitalJournal of Urology, VOL. 189, NO. 4, (1493-1497), Online publication date: 1-Apr-2013.BATTINO B, DeFOOR W, COE F, TACKETT L, ERHARD M, WACKSMAN J, SHELDON C and MINEVICH E (2018) Metabolic Evaluation of Children with Urolithiasis: Are Adult References for Supersaturation Appropriate?Journal of Urology, VOL. 168, NO. 6, (2568-2571), Online publication date: 1-Dec-2002.
