  • Hypercalciuria, or excessive urinary calcium excretion, occurs in about 5-10% of the population and is the most common identifiable cause of calcium kidney stone disease. Indeed, about 80% of all kidney stones contain calcium, and at least one third of all calcium stone formers are found to have hypercalciuria when tested.
