CONCLUSIONS: The plasma PTH-rp levels may help to predict the calcium-lowering effect of bisphosphonate and give an indication of the prognosis in patients with HM.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The development of this malignancy complication often purports a poor prognosis. Thorough evaluation to establish the cause of hypercalcemia is essential because some patients may actually have undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
For patients who have a poor prognosis and no viable treatment options, the most humane course may be no treatment at all since encephalopathy will cloud their consciousness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In general, hypercalcemia of malignancy portends a poor prognosis, and there are three main mechanisms by which hypercalcemia can occur: 1.[renalfellow.blogspot.com]
Abstract The etiology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of hypercalcemia associated with malignant diseases are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
No etiology could be determined for 98 cases of MAHC (40%) and increased PTHrP contributed to 92 cases (38%) of MAHC. Age, race and gender were not associated with HHM. Increased PTHrP was observed at initial malignancy diagnosis in 20% of cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Besides the etiology related to the malignancy, other causes should be considered in the differential diagnostic, as primary hyperparathyroidism, granulomatous diseases and the use of thiazide diuretics.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
To investigate the etiology of this form of HHM we have characterized expression and activity of the enzyme that catalyzes synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1alpha-hydroxylase (1alpha-hydroxylase), in a collection of 12 dysgerminomas.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
