title: [Genetic and environmental factors implicated in recurrent calcium lithiasis].
abstract: In this prospective study, we compared the frequency of some genetic and environmental factors possibly implicated in the occurrence of calcium stone disease. A group of 439 patients (258 males and 181 females) with one episode of calcium stone was compared to a group of 191 patients (131 males and 60 females) with recurrent calcium stone disease. Population with stones was also compared to control population (n = 78, 40 males and 38 females) matched to age. Major results were as follow: 1) Family history of urinary calculi was more frequent in patients than in controls (28.4% vs 9%, p < 0.01). No difference was observed between patients with one episode and those with recurrent episodes (27% vs 31%, ns). 2) The recurrence was earlier in female than in male, so that in female with family history of urinary calculi (p < 0.05). 3) Mean plasma levels of 1-25OH2D3 was significantly higher in patients with family history than in controls (60% vs 38%, p < 0.01) 5) Restricted calcium diet (< 400 mg per day) was more often observed in patients than in controls (31% vs 14%, p < 0.05) and the most significant difference was found in patients with recurrent calcium stones.
