Hypercalcemia with renal failure.

چکیده
We report a cse of nephrocalcinosis with renal failure which on evaluation was found to have hypercalcemia. Further investigations showed an inappropriately normal intact parathormone (iPTH) and 1,25 dihydroxy-vitamin D level in the setting of renal failure. Probing for a cause of non-PTH mediated hypercalcemia led to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Treatment with glucocorticoids could partially reverse the renal failure and control the hypercalcemia. This case illustrates the importance of careful interpretation of laboratory parameters especially levels of iPTH and vitamin D metabolites in renal failure.

Background: The effects of vitamin D in skeletal system, biological metabolism and immune system function are well shown. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) and ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) are two major types of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is widely in human population and vitamin D intoxication is very rare. Case Description: The patient is 37-years old bodybuilder man who referred to emergency...
متن کاملSevere Hypercalcemia and Acute Renal Failure: An Unusual Presentation of Sarcoidosis
Although hypercalcemia is a known metabolic complication of sarcoidosis, it is rarely a presenting manifestation. Long-standing hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria can cause nephrocalcinosis and chronic renal failure. Acute renal failure, although described, is also a rare presentation of patients with sarcoidosis. We describe two patients with sarcoidosis, who presented with severe hypercalcemia ...
متن کاملHypercalcemia and renal failure in the course of sarcoidosis--case report.
Disturbances of calcium metabolism such as hypercalcemia or/and hypercalciuria in the course of sarcoidosis can be a cause of renal failure in some patients. Life threatening hypercalcemia in sarcoidosis patients is not very frequent. Severe hypercalcemia leading to renal insufficiency is a very rare condition. We present a case of 53-year old man who was admitted to Department of Lung Disea...
متن کاملAcute renal failure in the course of hypercalcemic crisis due to parathyroid carcinoma – the case study
Parathyroid carcinoma is an uncommon cause of PTH-dependent hypercalcemia. The clinical features of parathyroid carcinoma are due primarily to the effects of hypercalcemia due to excessive secretion of PTH. Thus, signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia often dominate the clinical picture. The therapeutic goal at this point is to control the hypercalcemia. A history of the 56-years man admitted to t...
متن کاملMultiple Myeloma with Acute Kidney Injury Due to Microscopic Nephrocalcinosis
Significant renal dysfunction frequently develops in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and is the second leading cause of death in addition to infection. Cast nephropathy is the most common cause of renal failure in MM patients. We reported a 39-year-old man with MM who presented with hypercalcemia and acute kidney injury (AKI). The renal pathology revealed microscopic nephrocalcinosis withou...
