Abstract
Summary
The effect of variations in excretion of sodium on calcium excretion and clearance has been studied in 6 normal humans. The excretion of sodium was altered by varying the salt content of the diet. A direct relationship between calcium excretion and clearance and the simultaneous sodium excretion was demonstrated. These studies emphasize the importance of measuring sodium excretion in any investigation of the regulation of calcium excretion.
