Biochemical studies in idiopathic hypercalcaemia of infancy.
Idiopathic hypercalcaemia tends to develop between the first and fifteenth months of life and diagnosis rests primarily on biochemical findings. We have determined for this age period the normal values for serum calcium, serum cholesterol and the serum cholesterol fractions by the methods which we use. Over a period of four years samples of blood were taken from 110 infants in hospital, or atte...

متن کاملAdrenocortical function in hypercalcaemia of infancy.
Since it is possible that adrenocortical hormones may be implicated in the regulation of calcium metabolism (see Hollinger and Pattee, 1956, for references) we considered that it would be of interest to gain some knowledge of the adrenocortical function of patients with idiopathic hypercalcaemia of infancy. We have investigated two such patients, one having a severe hypercalcaemic syndrome simi...

متن کاملA case of osteosclerosis with hypercalcaemia and renal failure.
Disorders of calcium metabolism in childhood (except rickets) were regarded as uncommon until the recognition by Lightwood (1952) of the syndrome of 'idiopathic hypercalcaemia of infants with failure to thrive'. Previously there had been occasional reports of children considered to have AlbersSchonberg disease, hypervitaminosis D, primary hyperparathyroidism (Pratt, Geren and Neuhauser, 1947; P...
