Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Seventeen hypercalciuria patients (8 control, 9 treatment) with a history of urolithiasis were randomly selected to receive low-calcium, low-oxalate diets with or without the addition of 30 g of dietary fiber as unprocessed wheat bran. Diet alone resulted in a 5.6 percent decrease in calciuria compared with a 23.5 percent decrease with the addition of the fiber. The addition of hydrochlorothiazide and potassium citrate further reduced calciuria by 40.4 percent and 34.5 percent, respectively. Oxaluria was decreased 21.4 percent by diet alone compared with 3.9 percent in the diet and fiber treatment group. Patient compliance to diets was good, and no complications resulted from fiber intake.
