Urinary calcium excretion in schoolboys. Ethnic group differences.

Y Sokol, S T Winter, J Boxer

    Israel Journal of Medical Sciences
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Village Arab schoolboys showed higher urinary calcium/creatinine ratios and hypercalciuria compared to urban Jewish boys. This may explain increased childhood urolithiasis incidence in Arab children in Israel.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Childhood urolithiasis (kidney stones) incidence varies among different populations.
    • Hypercalciuria, elevated urinary calcium, is a risk factor for urolithiasis.
    • Dietary and environmental factors can influence urinary calcium excretion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare urinary calcium/creatinine ratios in two distinct schoolboy populations in Israel.
    • To investigate potential links between urinary calcium levels and childhood urolithiasis incidence.

    Main Methods:

    • Estimation of urinary calcium/creatinine ratio in 10-11-year-old schoolboys.
    • Comparison between village Arab and urban Jewish (Ashkenazic) groups.

    Main Results:

    • Higher mean calcium/creatinine ratio observed in Arab schoolboys.
    • Increased frequency of hypercalciuria noted in the Arab group.
    • Potential association suggested between higher calcium excretion and urolithiasis incidence.

    Conclusions:

    • Urinary calcium excretion patterns differ between the studied Arab and Jewish schoolboy populations.
    • Elevated urinary calcium may contribute to the higher prevalence of childhood kidney stones in Arab children in Israel.
