Sistemic calciphylaxis and thrombotic microangiopathy in a kidney transplant patient: Two mixing fatal syndromes?

2012

Abstract Abnormalities in calcium and phosphorus metabolism are common and metabolic bone diseases develop often in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Effective clinical management includes measures to control phosphorus retention and prevent hyperphosphataemia, to maintain serum calcium concentrations within the normal range and to prevent excess parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion by the judicious use of vitamin D sterols. Certain of these interventions, however, appear to increase the risk of soft tissue and vascular calcification in patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), so current therapeutic approaches are thus being re-evaluated in an effort to limit these risks.

Il trattamento medico e chirurgico nei pazienti affetti da iperparatiroidismo secondario e terziario. Revisione della letteratura

2017

Introduzione: L’iperparatiroidismo è un’alterazione fisiopatologica della secrezione di paratormone dovuta o da un rilascio autonomo e anomalo (iperparatiroidismo primario o terziario) da parte delle paratiroidi o da un’alterazione dell’omeostasi del calcio che stimola l’eccessiva produzione di paratormone (iperparatiroidismo secondario). Obiettivi: Il trattamento clinico dell’iperparatiroidismo secondario o terziario non è univoco. Sorge pertanto la necessità di una revisione delle attuali metodiche diagnostico-terapeutiche. Discussione: Nell’iperparatiroidismo secondario (2HPT) si ha una progressiva iperplasia delle paratiroidi e un incremento della produzione di paratormone. Tra le cause…

Calciphylaxie : une complication grave et méconnue de l'insuffisance rénale chronique terminale. À propos de deux cas

2005

Calciphylaxis presents like subcutaneous lesions with livedo reticularis leading to necrotic and painful ulcers, predominantly in the lower limbs and the abdomen. They initially simulate dermohypodermitis. Biology reveals secondary hyperparathyroidism, phosphocalcic metabolism abnormalities and state of hypercoagulability. Histological signs are constant: calcifications in the media of small and sub-cutaneous arteries, intimal hyperplasia and intravascular thrombosis. This complication occurs in 4% of end-stage renal disease patients. Its prognostic is awful with a rate of mortality of 60% due to sepsis. Treatment is based upon the normalization of phosphocalcic rates and local debridement.

Effekt von Calcium und Magnesium auf die Parathormonfreisetzung aus humanem Parathyreoidea-Gewebe in vitro

1982

The effects of calcium and magnesium on parathyroid hormone release from eight adenomas causing primary hyperparathyroidism and six hyperplastic glands causing hypercalcemic secondary hyperparathyroidism were investigated in vitro using single cell suspensions from the respective tissue. We observed suppression of parathyroid hormone release with increasing concentrations of either cation. The quantitative hormone secretions of both adenomatous and hyperplastic glands was identical.

Association of low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations with elevated parathyroid hormone concentrations and low cortical bone density in early puberta…

2003

Background: Very few studies have evaluated both parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and their effects on bone mass in children. Objective: We studied the associations of serum 25(OH)D and intact PTH (iPTH) with bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) at different bone sites and the relation between serum 25(OH)D and iPTH in early pubertal and prepubertal Finnish girls. Design: The subjects were 10‐12-y-old girls (n = 193) at Tanner stage 1 or 2, who reported a mean (± SD) dietary calcium intake of 733 ± 288 mg/d. 25(OH)D, iPTH, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP 5b), urinary calcium excretion, BMC, areal BMD, and volumetric BMD were asses…
