Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is an inherited condition that can cause hypercalcemia, a serum calcium level typically above 10.2 mg/dL; although uncommon. [1] It is also known as familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FBHH) where there is usually a family history of hypercalcemia which is mild, a urine calcium to creatinine ratio <0.01, and urine calcium <200 mg/day ...
Mutations that inactivate a CaSR gene cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) (also known as familial benign hypercalcemia because it is generally asymptomatic and does not require treatment), [24] when present in heterozygotes. Patients who are homozygous for CaSR inactivating mutations have more severe hypercalcemia. [25]
Like hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia can be non-severe and present with no symptoms, or it may be severe, with life-threatening symptoms. Hypercalcemia is most commonly caused by hyperparathyroidism and by malignancy, and less commonly by vitamin D intoxication, familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia and by sarcoidosis. [2]
Chronic elevation of calcium with absent or mild symptoms often points to primary hyperparathyroidism or Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. For those who has underlying malignancy, the cancers may be sufficiently severe to show up in history and examination to point towards the diagnosis with little laboratory investigations.
A number of genetic conditions including multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes, hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome, [18] familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, [19] neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism also increase the risk. [1] Parathyroid adenomas have been linked with DDT although a causal link has not yet been established. [20]
However, research also shows that taking a vitamin D supplement doesn’t seem to help reduce your overall risk of developing cancer or any particular cancer. So, before you decide that you want ...
A Memorial Sloan Kettering phase 1 clinical trial revealed an immune response in some pancreatic cancer patients. Study co-author Dr. Vinod Balachandran talks about the impact on future cancer care.
