Özet

As urinary prostaglandin excretion might be involved in idiopathic hypercalciuria, we studied the excretion of prostaglandin E(2) and calcium together with serum prostaglandin E(2), parathormone and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D in 20 patients and 11 controls Idiopathic hypercalciuric patients showed increased levels of urinary prostaglandin E(2)-like activity, which is correlated with calcium excretion. Although no change was observed in serum parathormone level in control and hypercalciuric patients, there was a positive correlation between serum 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D and prostaglandin E(2)-like activity. These findings suggest that prostaglandin E(2) could play a role in the hypercalciuria syndrome, possibly by increasing 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D synthesis.
