Hypercalciuria in sarcoidosis treated with inorganic phosphates.

Sarcoidosis Treated with Cortisone

Pregnancy and sarcoidosis: an insight into the pathogenesis of hypercalciuria.

Hypercalciuria with or without hypercalcemia is a well-known complication of sarcoidosis, the pathogenesis of which is not fully understood. Pregnancy is associated with physiologic alterations in calcium metabolism. These changes can further alter the derangement of calcium metabolism that occurs in sarcoidosis, if the two conditions coexist. We had the opportunity to study prospectively the c...

Hypercalciuria in children with recurrent UTI

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in children. Recurrent UTI causes serious complications such as renal scarring, proteinuria and hypertension. Recent studies have  reported  that hypercalciuria  may  be considered  a  risk  factor  for  recurrent  UTI. Materials and Methods: In this study 110 children 2months to 13years o...

Hypercalcemia from sarcoidosis successfully treated with infliximab.

Sarcoidosis is a systematic inflammatory condition with a variable clinical course. While many patients have a benign, indolent illness, some patients have more severe manifestations. Therapy is determined by an individual patient's disease manifestations and the response to treatment. We report a case of sarcoidosis beginning with lymphadenopathy, initially controlled with steroids and immunos...

A robotics-based automated assay for inorganic and organic phosphates.

Phosphate analyses are fundamental to a broad range of biochemical applications involving inorganic phosphate and organic phosphoesters such as phospholipids, phosphorylated proteins, and nucleic acids. A practical automated method utilizing robotics is described in this report. Five colorimetric methods of phosphate analyses based on formation of a phosphomolybdate complex and compatible with ...
