    Unprocessed bran effectively reduces urinary calcium excretion in patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria. Many patients experienced significant reductions, with a notable portion achieving normal calcium levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Dietary Science

    Background:

    • Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a condition characterized by elevated urinary calcium.
    • Managing hypercalciuria is crucial to prevent kidney stone formation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of unprocessed bran in reducing urinary calcium excretion.
    • To assess the impact of dietary fiber on idiopathic hypercalciuria.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 84 patients diagnosed with idiopathic hypercalciuria.
    • Analysis of urinary calcium excretion in 72 patients before and during unprocessed bran treatment.

    Main Results:

    • 62 out of 72 patients (86%) showed a significant decrease in urinary calcium.
    • 28 patients (39%) achieved normal urinary calcium excretion levels with bran treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Unprocessed bran is a safe and effective dietary intervention for idiopathic hypercalciuria.
    • Dietary fiber from unprocessed bran can normalize urinary calcium levels.
