Paraneoplastic Erythrocytosis of Colon Cancer, with Serum Erythropoietin within the Normal Reference Range
BACKGROUND Paraneoplastic erythrocytosis can be brought on by ectopic erythropoietin production usually in kidney, brain, and liver tumor with increase of serum erythropoietin level. We report here a paraneoplastic erythrocytosis of colon cancer with serum erythropoietin within the normal reference, which required an immunohistologic test for erythropoietin-antibody to be diagnosed. CASE REPO...
متن کاملCongenital erythrocytosis associated with gain-of-function HIF2A gene mutations and erythropoietin levels in the normal range.
Hypoxia-inducible factor 2α (HIF-2α) plays a pivotal role in the balancing of oxygen requirements throughout the body. The protein is a transcription factor that modulates the expression of a wide array of genes and, in turn, controls several key processes including energy metabolism, erythropoiesis and angiogenesis. We describe here the identification of two cases of familial erythrocytosis as...
متن کاملThe frequency of JAK2 exon 12 mutations in idiopathic erythrocytosis patients with low serum erythropoietin levels.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Idiopathic erythrocytosis (IE) is characterized by erythrocytosis in the absence of megakaryocytic or granulocytic hyperplasia, and is associated with variable serum erythropoietin (Epo) levels. Most patients with IE lack the JAK2 V617F mutation that occurs in the majority of polycythemia vera patients. Four novel JAK2 mutant alleles have recently been described in pat...
متن کاملErythropoietin-dependent primary pure erythrocytosis.
We investigated the pathogenesis of isolated erythrocytosis of 14 yr duration in a 28-yr-old man. The increase in red cell mass was attributed to increased erythropoietin production. An extensive search for recognized causes of secondary erythrocytosis was unrevealing. Family members were found to be hematologically normal. After reduction of the circulating red cell mass by 20%, erythropoietin...
متن کاملSerum thyroglobulin antibody levels within or near to the reference range may interfere with thyroglobulin measurement
High concentration of thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) is a major limiting factor of thyroglobulin measurements in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. We investigated whether thyroglobulin antibody added to serum samples could interfere with the thyroglobulin assay. Thyroglobulin levels in serum samples with different concentrations of thyroglobulin were measured by electrochemiluminesc...
