Osteoporosis in young men: a syndrome of hypercalciuria and accelerated bone turnover

Arch Intern Med. 1982 Jul;142(7):1295-8. doi: 10.1001/archinte.142.7.1295.

Abstract

Five young men had a similar syndrome of osteopenia and hypercalciuria, probably resorptive and absorptive, with histomorphometric data suggesting decreased bone mass with increased rate of bone formation. A search for causes of osteopenia, either primary or secondary, was unrewarding.
