Plasmapheresis-Induced Hypercalcaemia = فرط كلس الدم الناتج عن فصل البلازما

Danazol-induced hypercalcaemia in alphacalcidol-treated hypoparathyroidism.

We report a case of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, maintained on alphacalcidol who developed hypercalcaemia during treatment with danazol for endometriosis.

Handling of induced hypercalcaemia in hyperthyroidism.

The mean serum calcium of 13 hyperthyroid patients was found to be significantly higher than that of controls matched for sex and age, though none of the patients' values were outside the normal range. Nevertheless, these patients responded very promptly to hypercalcaemia (induced by an intravenous calcium load), and their serum calcium returned to normal much more rapidly compared with the mat...

Plasmapheresis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis.

To the Editor: Thrombosis associated with severe thrombocytopenia is an infrequent, but life-threatening side effect of heparin therapy, which can involve any venous or arterial territory including the cerebral circulation. The treatment of this serious complication has not been satisfactorily resolved. Recently, Becker and Miller reviewed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thromboembolism a...
