A member asked:
Could osteopenia contribute to my constant passing of kidney stones that have been tested to be 90% calcium stones, any relation with these two issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteopenia: You should be theater for primary hyperparathyroidism, and if you don't have it then you should increase your dietary calcium intake. It's sounds contra intuitive but it has been shown that increase dietary calcium intake decreases risk of kidney stones!
