Normal Values for Random Urinary Calcium to Creatinine Ratios in Children and Young Adults,Kermanshah(2000-2001)

Abstract

Introduction: Since hypercalciuria is implicated in renal stone formation, random urine calcium to creatininee ratio (UCA/CR) is the practical use in screening for hyperalciuria. However, due to worldwide variations in reference values for human population and difficulty of 24 hr urine collection for detection of hypercalciuria, we decided to conduct this study to determine normal confecting random UCA/CR ratio in the west part of Iran, Kermanshah.
