[Inheritance and prevalence of hypercalciuria in the children from the island of La Gomera].

The urinary elimination of calcium has been studies in 549 school children from the island of La Gomera (Canary Islands) and in 100 children of a control group from the capital of the Canaries, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The diet was not manipulated and it was proven that the water that they consumed was of characteristic equal. The 95th centile for the distribution of the calcium/creatinine index was 0.2 in the control group, we calculated the prevalence of hypercalciuria of this group (3.8%) and of the study group (16%). The prevalence was analyzed by areas of the island and it this showed that it was higher (28.4%) in those from isolated communities and therefore, with history of more inbreeding that in those with good communications (10.6%). It was observed that the risk of suffering hypercalciuria among the children that have four grand-parents who are natives of the island of La Gomera is 2.85 times higher than in those that don't have any grand-father/mother coming from the island. Hypercalciuria siblings of children with hypercalciuria found in 50%.
