Study of Calcium Metabolism in Teenage Girls With Type 1 Diabetes

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: calcium isotope analysis
Registration Number
NCT03156179
Lead Sponsor
University of Rochester
Brief Summary

The proposed pilot study will enroll 33 adolescent females with type 1 diabetes for the assessment of whole body calcium metabolism using dual stable calcium isotopes. This is the state of the art technique for assessing calcium metabolism in the body and has been used in both healthy and diseased pediatric populations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
fractional calcium absorption24 hours

Mass spectroscopy was performed using urine to measure the stable calcium isotope. Percent dietary calcium absorption was calculated as the ratio of the cumulative recovery of 44Ca (oral tracer) to the cumulative recovery of 42Ca (IV tracer) in the 24-hour urine sample.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Estimated calcium retention24 hours

Gastrointestinal calcium absorption minus the total of urine calcium excretion and estimated stool calcium excretion.
