Assessment of mineral and bone biomarkers highlights a high frequency of hypercalciuria in asymptomatic healthy teenagers.

Using the most recent assays, this study provides data for mineral/bone biomarkers across puberty, and highlights the risk of hyper-calciuria in apparent asymptomatic healthy teenagers, not related to calcium intake but rather to 25D. Future studies are required to dissect the underlying mechanisms increasing calciuria and prevent nephrolithiasis as early as during childhood. This article is protected by copyright.
