The definition of hypercalciuria varies with body size and diet. In general, the normal upper limits for urinary calcium is 4 mg of calcium per kilogram of body weight per day (280 mg per day, males; 240 mg per day, females) on a diet containing 1000 mg of calcium per day. Total excretion may drop to 200 mg per day on a diet of 400 mg of calcium and 100 mEq or less of sodium. 3, record 1, English, - hypercalciuria
