Did you have any tests to find a reason for your hypercalciuria? Is this being treated in any way? I have the same issue with calcium, and my Dr is recommending Evenity or generic Fosamax. I wonder if I would respond the same way to Evenity (with no gains) with my high serum and urine calcium levels.

Hi @ripley - I've had numerous tests but still no cause for my hypercalciuria. I tried all of the thiazides at one point and they did reduce urine calcium by about 40%, but I started having irregular heart beats (PVCs) so I stopped. My fault really because I was taking big doses and not enough potassium to compensate. On the positive side, I did have good results on Evenity after all. My initial DXA scan was messed up as they scanned L2-L5 by accident. Once corrected, my gains were good. So I think you still have a good chance of gains on Evenity, just make sure you are getting a lot of calcium daily. I was taking in ~1500mg/day to help compensate for the lost urine calcium. Good luck!
