Nonacidotic kidney proximal tubulopathy with
absorptive hypercalciuria. Am J Kidney Dis 1995;25:222-7.
Absorptive hypercalciuria occurs when the body absorbs too much calcium from food and empties the extra calcium into the urine.
In absorptive hypercalciuria, the primary defect is in the intestine, which causes a transient increase in plasma calcium; the kidneys get rid of the excess calcium.
Preminger treats most of his absorptive hypercalciuria patients with a thiazide and diet.
