Short Ammonium Chloride Loading Test for Evaluation of Hyperparathyroidism
1981
The dilemma in the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is reflected by three factors: Hypercalcemia is still regarded as the most important diagnostic sign, but unless multiple determinations of serum calcium are done, the so-called borderline cases will be missed. Tests that readily identify HPT combine either simple performance, widespread use and low accuracy (CP, TRP, PEI, TMP/GFR)l or sophisticated methods, limited use and high accuracy (PTH, Ca+++, c-AMP). Consequently, some authors perform neck explorations to cure patients with recurrent nephrolithiasis who do not fulfill the diagnostic criteria of HPT. However, the stone recurrence rate may then reach 75%2,3 In this situation, t…
Statistics of Urolithiasis
1976
The data of 1000 stone patients, (1) in fig.1, acauired through the questionnaire “Harnstein-Statistik” (2), see (1), were transferred to three computer cards per patient. The questionnaire comprises 147 items relevant to urolith pathogenesis. A computer program makes the correlation of these 8 parameters possible: male, female, flexible age groups, stone components, stone types, diagnoses, electrolytes, and infections. Under stone specific data (I) the distribution of the 22 stone components which were considered (see table 1) is listed according to sex, the kind of stone release, stone localisation, and various frequency distributions (4). The correlation of stone components with 6 stone …
