ABSTRACT
Gleeson MJ,Thom pson AS, Mehta S, Griffith DP Scott Department of Urology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas.
Effect of unprocessed wheat bran on calciuria and oxaluria in patientswith urolithiasis.
Seventeen hypercalciuria
patients (8 control, 9 treatment) with a history of urolithiasis were randomly
selected to receive low-calcium, low-oxalate diets with or without the addition
of 30 grams of dietary fiber as unprocessed wheat bran. Diet alone resulted in a 5.6
percent decrease in calciuria compared with a 23.5 percent decrease with the
addition of the fiber. The addition of hydrochlorothiazide and potassium citrate
further reduced calciuria by 40.4 percent and 34.5 percent, respectively.
Oxaluria was decreased 21.4 percent by diet alone compared with 3.9 percent in
the diet and fiber treatmentgroup. Patient compliance to diets was good, and no
complications resulted from fiber intake.
