Abstract
Children with HC have a higher dietary protein intake than normocalciuric children. The decrease in urea excretion with increasing age and body mass may reflect the relatively higher protein intake of young growing individuals. Salt and protein have a cumulative effect on rising calcium excretion in HC children, but the role of protein intake is outstanding.
