pseudohypoparathyroidism/albumin

Objectives The objective of this paper is to report a peculiar case of a patient with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b (PHP1B). Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) refers to a group of disorders characterized by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations as the

Calcium-regulating hormones were serially measured during the second pregnancy in a woman with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b. Calcium levels corrected for serum albumin were maintained almost normal during her second pregnancy with 1alpha-hydroxycalciferol (2.0 microg daily) though they were

A 71-year-old man was referred for evaluation of asymptomatic hypocalcaemia dating back at least 20 years. There were no somatic abnormalities and Chvostek and Trousseau signs were negative. Serum total calcium varied from 1.88 to 2.03 mmol/l, albumin 37-44 g/l, phosphate 0.54-1.12 mmol/l and

Measurement of ionized calcium and cAMP in plasma and urine are used as sensitive parameters for the evaluation of calcium disorders. Ionized calcium is accepted as the biologically active form of calcium in the extracellular fluid, while urine cAMP provides an in vivo receptor assay for the

Hypocalcaemia is an established cause of neurological and psychiatric disease with numerous clinical manifestations. The aim of the study was to determine the outcome of severe neuropsychiatric manifestations of chronic hypocalcaemia after correction of calcium levels. Clinical and laboratory data

In 23 patients with hypoparathyroidism or pseudohypoparathyroidism treated with vitamin D, and in whom the dosage was adjusted downward or upward in response to hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia respectively, assays of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) were carried out in addition to the usual serum
