Hypercalciuria is defined by a 24-hour urinary calcium excretion more than 150 mg in an adult female, more than 200 mg in an adult male, or more than 4 mg/kg/d in a child who weighs less than 60 kg. In infants younger than 3 months, 5 mg/kg/d is considered the upper limit of normal for calcium excretion.

Idiopathic hypercalciuria is the presence of excess calcium in the urine without obvious cause. This condition can lead to kidney stones or osteoporosis.
