  • Title: [Major hypercalcemia revealing sarcoidosis].
    Author: Cailleux N, Raspaud C, Levesque H, Benhamou D, Vuillermet P, Muir JF, Courtois H.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 1994; 11(6):599-600. PubMed ID: 7831512.
    Abstract:
    We reported a new case of sarcoidosis disclosed by a symptomatic severe hypercalcemia. Increase of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is secondary to an extrarenal production by alveolar macrophages and sarcoid granuloma. Glucocorticoid administration produces a prompt and persistent decrease in serum and urinary levels of calcium.
