چکیده
serum calcium accompanying a fall in red blood cell count following treatment with phenylhydrazine. We were stimulated by this report to make some additional studies of the calcium metabolism in polycythemia, but the work was halted in its incipiency by our inability to confirm the findings of Brown and Roth. Serum calcium determinations were made in nine cases of typical polycythemia vera using Clark and Collip's modification of the method of Kramer and Tisdall (2). The patients received no special diet, and

The Reduction of Hypercalcemia in Cases of Polycythemia Vera by Phenylhydrazine.
The range of variation in serum calcium is relatively narrow in health and in most diseases. The accepted normal level is from 9 to 11 mgm. for each 100 cc. of serum or plasma. Lowered values for serum calcium have been found in tetany (parathyroid), rickets, nephritis, osteomalacia and sprue; elevated values are rare. High values have been found by Wells in terminal acidosis and by Coates and ...
