2. Low calcium diet, low sodium diet or low calcium diet plus hydrochlorthiazide
Researchers showed that low calcium diet, low sodium diet or low calcium diet plus hydrochlorthiazide reduced hypercalciuria significantly (P less than 0.01).  Low calcium diet combined with hydrochlorthiazide was the most effective treatment for hypercalciuria(21).

3. Balance diet with enough nutrient
