Abstrakt: One hundred patients with recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis were submitted to the Pak test. At fasting state hypercalciuria was found in 27 cases, while a group of 16 further patients became hypercalciuric after oral calcium load. Only measurement of urinary cAMP excretion in both conditions made it possible to diagnose renal hypercalciuria in 9 out of 27 patients in the former group; according to test results 4 patients were expected to have primary hyperparathyroidism, but afterwards the disease was identified in only one case.
