Urine calcium in the 800's is rough. While your urine calcium will come down a bit over time while being on a thiazide, about the best I have seen in trials is 50% reduction. 400mg is still too high to build bone. I highly recommend you watch this video from this really good nephrologist on idiopathic hypercalciuria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN9VWgCda8c . You probably want to see someone like Dr. Coe that specializes in nephrology and kidney stones.

That all said, I'm surprised your T-scores have been stable over your testing period. Perhaps the high urine calcium is recent or a messed up measurement.

I have watched about half of the video you recommended and I must admit, it seems to be way over my head. I needed
To take a break. Hopefully the second half will summarize in a way that I can understand. 😩
I will do another 24 hour urine test soon and see what the numbers are. The first one was 813. Hopefully it was incorrect.
