Nowadays people due to some musculoscletal problems such as osteoarthritis and osteoprosis, overuse calcium resources ever over the counter(OTC). Some renal stones consist of calcium carbonate or calcium oxalate... Is there any relation between mentioned subjects? Can anyone introduce some useful case-control and clinical trial articles?
Increase intake of calcium increases chances of renal stone.
Yes, in some of the literature about prescribing calcium it is noted that caution should be taken in administering this product to those with a history of stones.
As Emmanuel Obeagu points out, increased calcium intake will increase the chance of stone formation. However, this doesn't necessarily preclude use. There are a number of drug and disease interactions that should be considered though, especially in elders.
