Idiopathic hypercalciuria: its control with unprocessed bran

P J Shah et al. Br J Urol. 1980 Dec.

Abstract

Eighty-four patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria were entered into a study of the effects of treatment with unprocessed bran. Of 72 patients with complete data available for analysis 62 (86%) had a significant reduction in urinary calcium excretion during bran treatment and 28 (39%) returned their calcium excretion to within the normal range. Unprocessed bran is therefore an effective means of reducing urinary calcium excretion in patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria.
