Aspects of calcium excretion by the kidney

Die Physiologische Entwicklung des Kindes

Abstract

There is no exact evidence available to show that the ability of the kidney to handle calcium varies significantly with the age of the child. The calcium balance and the urinary calcium excretion do, however, vary very considerably according to the age of the child and thediet (see p. 280 if.). The two main factors in the diet which affect the calcium balance are the calcium intake and the Vitamin D intake. There are numerous reports in the literature of both short and long term calcium balances in children and the effects of varying the Vitamin D intake and it is not intended to review these here as they have already been excellently summarized (14, 17, 23, 27). Calcium is normally excreted in urine, in faeces and through the skin. The urinary pathway is usually considered as the main mechanism by which the body regulates its endogenous calcium content (19).
