hypercalciuria/fatigue

Background: Cancer-related fatigue represents one major cause of reduced quality of life in cancer patients and can seriously affect the physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning impeding coping with the disease. Options for

A 24-year-old female patient with parathyroid carcinoma, the rarest endocrine malignancy, had two pregnancies. In the first pregnancy, she had severe nausea and fatigue. Hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism were diagnosed in the postpartum period. Hyperemesis gravidarum masked a diagnosis of

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of LR-103, a Vitamin D analogue, in patients with advanced cancer. METHODS In Step A, patients received oral LR-103 once daily in 14-day cycles with intra-patient dose escalation per accelerated dose

BACKGROUND Indapamide is an antihypertensive agent similar to thiazides, but with some different effects. Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics are useful in preventing recurrent urinary stone formation due to their hypocalciuric effects. OBJECTIVE To determine the hypocalciuric and other effects on

This report describes the clinical and biologic data and bone density measurements in 19 adults seen in a rheumatology department, with phosphate diabetes defined by low serum phosphate levels and decreased tubular reabsorption of phosphate in the absence of known etiology. There were 14 males and 5

BACKGROUND Conventional treatment of hypoparathyroidism with calcium, Vitamin D analogs, and thiazide diuretics is often suboptimal, and these patients have poor quality of life. Teriparatide (parathyroid hormone 1-34 [PTH (1-34)]), an amide of PTH, is widely available for the use in osteoporosis;

Duchenne's muscular dystrophy with kypho-scoliosis, progressive muscle weakness and abnormal fatigue of the muscles results in an immobilisation syndrome with increased bone resorption and hypercalciuria. The accompanying chest deformity alters the respiratory capacity, causing pulmonary

The calcium-sensing receptor (Ca-R) is a G-protein-coupled surface receptor that plays a crucial role in calcium homeostasis via parathyroid hormone secretion. Mutations of this receptor can cause a gain in, or loss of, function, leading to hypo- or hypercalcemia, respectively. We report here a

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited systemic metabolic disease caused by mutations in the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene. TNSALP is expressed in the liver, kidney and bone, and its substrates include TNSALP inorganic pyrophosphate, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate

We report a rare case of Bartter's syndrome in a 35-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient presented with leg weakness, fatigue, polyuria and polydipsia. Hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and high renin and aldosterone concentrations were present, but the patient was normotensive.
