Stones in the urinary tract are a common problem, even in children. Hypercalciuria (the excretion of abnormally large amounts of calcium in the urine) is the most common metabolic cause of urinary stones and is associated with a variety of disorders, including osteoporosis (30% of hypercalciuric children demonstrate evidence of vertebral bone loss). Colleagues are enrolling patients in studies aimed at investigating the causes of calcium stones and seeking new preventive measures.
