Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IHc) and idiopathic hypocitraturia are frequently associated with calcium nephrolithiasis. We investigated the relationship of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms (BsmI, TaqI and FokI) to urinary supersaturation of calcium oxalate salts in recurrent calcium oxalate stone formers with IHc and the clinical relevance of this relationship.
