Do you transition patients with recurrent nephrolithiasis and hypercalciuria off of hydrochlorothiazide in favor of an alternative thiazide diuretic?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
No. Assuming the patient tolerates HCTZ well, and it is effective in lowering hypercalciuria, I continue it. Most of the thiazide research has been done using this agent.
