  • Title: Diuretic effects on calcium metabolism.
    Author: Friedman PA, Bushinsky DA.
    Journal: Semin Nephrol; 1999 Nov; 19(6):551-6. PubMed ID: 10598542.
    Abstract:
    Diuretics have numerous effects on calcium metabolism. The loop diuretics promote, and the thiazide diuretics inhibit, renal calcium excretion. In this review we detail the basic mechanisms of renal calcium excretion and then explain how diuretics influence this excretion. Finally we review how these agents can be used to alter calcium homeostasis in a clinically efficacious manner.
