The 24hr urine calcium is among the diagnostic tests to rule out secondary cause(s) of osteoporosis. There are several reasons for increased urine calcium output, including high intake of salt (sodium), animal protein and refined sugar. Your endo may have asked you to reduce salt intake to see if that's the reason for your borderline high urine 24hr calcium.
You probably want to let your endo know that you've started HRT, since estrogen affects urine calcium output too.

My plan is to call Endo tomorrow. I had 2 birthday parties this month for my grandsons. I literally ate nothing at either party because one had pizza and sub and the other was pasta and fried foods. So everyone ate around me. I ate a yogurt on my way to both parties just so I ate something. Like I said I’m doing everything I can to think of. So I hope Endo has another idea.
