Official title:

Health authority | Switzerland: Ethikkommission |
Study type | Observational |
Accumulating evidence indicated that renal calcium stone formers often exhibit a low bone density. Therefore we want to test the hypothesis, that the mineral (calcium) metabolism is differently regulated in calcium stone formers with low as opposed to high bone density.
