A member asked:
Should patients with nephrocalcinosis avoid calcium sources such as milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence for this: In nephrocalcinosis, measures may be taken to reduce urinary concentration and increase the solubility of the substances (calcium, phosphate, or oxalate) contributing to the disease. However, restricting dietary calcium intake is not recommended unless it is excessive (>2000 mg/day). More important is liberal fluid intake, modest restriction of animal protein, and restriction of dietary sodium.
