Hypercalcemia due to spontaneous hemorrhage in a parathyroid adenoma during recovery from acute renal failure. 1986

M Shiraki, and H Ito, and S Ohkawa, and H Shimada

A 89-year-old woman showed transient and mild hypercalcemia (11.0 mg/dl) at the phase of recovery from acute renal failure. Serum PTH level elevated to 2.1 ng/ml when hypercalcemia was observed, and decreased to 1.1 ng/ml. Autopsy study revealed the bleeding within parathyroid adenoma. The transient and mild hypercalcemia seen in the patient was considered as the result of the bleeding within parathyroid adenoma. This unusual manifestation of parathyroid adenoma, bleeding, usually causes hypercalcemic crisis. The mild hypercalcemia observed in this patient despite of bleeding into parathyroid adenoma might be due to old age of the patient and the existence of renal failure in the patient.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
