Relapsing Calcium Stones: The Long-Term Results of Pharmacological Therapy
A long-term study using pharmacological therapy (hydrochlorothiazide + amiloride and, in some selected cases, allopurinol) was carried out in 137 stone formers in order to reduce the incidence of recurrent calcium stones.
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Lopez et al.1 They compared the effects of AMG 641 with calcitriol (CT) or paricalcitol (PC) alone, and the combination of the calcimimetic with either CT or PC. We have really found the paper interesting, but would like to raise some points of discussion.
