Abstract:
BACKGROUND:A family history increases the risk of kidney stone passage independent of dietary risk factors. However, the metabolic basis for familial aggregation of urolithiasis is unknown. METHODS:We evaluated metabolic risk factors in families with at least two sibs with a history of calcium stones. Sibs underwent outpatient evaluations simultaneously, including 24-hour urine collection and oral calcium loading. Phenotypes were compared between affected and unaffected sibs from the same sibship. RESULTS:Eighty-three sibships comprising 388 sibs (212 affected sibs, 114 males and 98 females, and 176 unaffected sibs, 68 males and 108 females) from 71 families were analyzed. Daily urine calcium excretion was higher in affected compared with unaffected sibs (0.64 +/- 0.33 vs. 0.50 +/- 0.22 mmol Ca(2+)/mmol creatinine, respectively, P < 10(-5)). This corresponded to absolute values of 7.4 +/- 3.9 and 5.1 +/- 2.3 mmol Ca(2+)/day, respectively, for affected and unaffected males, and 5.4 +/- 2.6 and 4.2 +/- 1.9 mmol Ca(2+)/day, respectively, for affected and unaffected female sibs. When analyzed by tertile of onset age of stone passage, the differences in urine calcium were only significant in the first two tertiles (with onset age of stone passage <35 years). The fasting urine Ca(2+)/creatinine ratio was significantly higher in stone formers compared with control sibs (0.46 +/- 0.27 vs. 0.40 +/- 0.27, P = 0.04), as was the postcalcium load Ca(2+)/creatinine ratio (0.57 +/- 0.46 vs. 0.43 +/- 0.41, respectively, P = 0.02). Body mass index was marginally significantly higher in stone forming sibs (P = 0.04). Other urine phenotypes, including oxalate, phosphate, magnesium, citrate, urate, sodium, ammonium, and volume, were not associated with stone passage. CONCLUSION:Increased urine calcium excretion is the only phenotype associated with a kidney stone formation in these French-Canadian families.
