Background: Hypercalciuria is frequent in patients with acromegaly, but it is unclear how GH/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) regulate renal calcium handling. Elevated fasting plasma calcium levels despite increased glomerular filtration suggest enhanced renal calcium reabsorption.Objective: To investigate the impact of acromegaly on phosphocalcium metabolism.Design: Prospective sequential study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: N...
