Homozygous Klotho mutant mice (KL(-/-) mice) exhibit multiple phenotypes resembling human ageing. Increases in the ratio of urinary calcium to urinary creatinine (uCa/uCr) and in serum Ca concentration and decreases in urinary Cr excretion and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration were reported; however, precise information about renal Ca handling was not reported in these animals.
