We report an 11 month-old infant with severe hypercalcemia associated with hyperlipidemia following bolus vitamin D administration. At the time of admission, serum concentration of calcium was 5.5 mmol/l (22 mg/dl); total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), very low density
A newborn with important signs of fetal disturbance and respiratory distress and respiratory distress developed plaques on both buttocks 14 days after birth, with the clinical and histological characteristics of subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn. Fifteen days after the onset of the cutaneous
BACKGROUND
Calcium carbonate is often used to relieve Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in pregnant patients. This report describes a potentially serious complication.
METHODS
A pregnant female presented at 34 weeks gestation with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Home medications included
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of artifactual hypercalcemia in a patient with hyperlipidemia.
METHODS
We present clinical data and laboratory findings in a 33-year-old woman with generalized fatigue, a recent 5-kg weight loss, and a papular rash on the extremities as well as a history of diabetes and
OBJECTIVE
The incidence of diabetes mellitus in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and, conversely, primary hyperparathyroidism in diabetic patients are approximately threefold higher than the respective expected prevalence in the general populace. The diagnosis is straightforward when the
BACKGROUND
Drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP) is a rare problem in medicine. A retrospective study from 45 German centers of gastroenterology concluded that only 22 of 1613 (1.4 percent) cases of acute pancreatitis in 1993 were DIP. Though DIP is a rare etiology of acute pancreatitis compared to other
Male and female, arteriosclerotic and nonarteriosclerotic rats were subjected to acute myocardial infarction by two, subcutaneous injections (spaced 24 hr apart) of isoproterenol. During the immediate postinfarct repair phase all of the experimental animals were made severely diabetic with alloxan.
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in the United States. Understanding any relationship between this deficiency and cardiovascular disease is essential. Vitamin D, as used, refers to both D(2) and D(3); both are present in over-the-counter supplements, whereas D(2) is the prescription product in the
The pathophysiology of skeletal muscle loss in cancer cachexia is poorly understood. Immature, male, New Zealand White rabbits (TBs; n = 11) were implanted with VX-2 carcinoma and various indices of systemic and limb metabolism were examined in comparison with pair-fed controls (PFCs; n = 9) and
A hypotensive effect of active vitamin D treatment (alphacalcidol 1 mg daily) has previously been reported in three double-blind, placebo-controlled studies over 4-6 months in subjects with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), intermittent hypercalcemia and essential hypertension. The commonly
Experiments were performed to investigate the effects of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) on calcium metabolism, femur morphometry, and nephrotoxicity. Male Fischer 344 rats were dosed daily intragastrically (ig) for 5, 10 or 15 weeks with 0, 0.1, 1, 10 or 25 mg PCB/kg body weight. After 5, 10 and 15
The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of various doses of disodium ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate (EHDP) in an experimental rabbit model of athero-arteriosclerosis designed by Hass et al. (Amer. J. Pathol., 49 (1966) 739). This model, which involves the feeding of a
BACKGROUND
Acute pancreatitis is uncommon in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). When recognized early and properly treated with IV steroids and hydration, the course may be benign, as exemplified in the following report.
METHODS
A 21-year-old woman with history of SLE and stage IV lupus nephritis,
We conducted a prospective study in hemodialysis patients to assess the safety and efficacy of sevelamer, a non-absorbable phosphate binding polymer free of calcium and aluminum, in lowering serum phosphorus, serum intact parathyroid hormone, and serum lipids. Phosphate binders were discontinued
BACKGROUND
Haemodialysis patients frequently have simultaneous hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, posing a therapeutic dilemma for the traditional calcium--and aluminum--based binders. RenaGel (sevelamer hydrochloride) is an effective phosphate binder without changes in serum calcium or aluminum
