Abstract
The nonabsorbable cation exchange resin Campanyl (Figure 1) complexes with dietary calcium in the gastrointestinal tract and hinders its absorption. Campanyl is 50% amberlite, in the K+ form, and 46.8% sorbital. It binds 1.935 mEq Ca2+/(g resin). The drug was given orally with meals as a long-term therapy in patients with recurrent calcium urolithiasis1–4 After exclusion of primary hyperparathyroidism, an absorptive hypercalciuria could be detected in 40% and a resorptive, mixed (absorptive + resorptive) or renal hypercalciuria in 20% of the patients. The remaining patients were normocalciuric or inconstantly hypercalciuric.
