I, too, have hypercalciuria only just discovered in a 24-hour “pee in the hat” test. It seems as though this is something the medical world has known about for some time, but has only recently begun taking seriously? I’ve been treated for OP for over 15 years without benefit of any real bloodwork; just standard vitamin D and calcium (didn’t know CTX or P1NP existed before my friends here mentioned them).

My new doc ordered labs to perhaps find out if there might be a reason for my bone loss. If his theory is correct, things should get better for me.

I wish you the best!

@beanieone I only started researching hypercalciuria after my second 24 hour calcium came in really high. I am astonished that no one thinks to test for this as it's such an easy test to do. Instead, we get lumped into the "oh, a peri-menopausal/menopausal woman so it's clearly declining estrogen" category and pushed to take Fosamax and supplement with calcium or Vit D. Or maybe they test our PTH and thyroid levels.

I hope correcting your hypercalciuria improves your bone health. I have a follow up appt next week to discuss mine.
