PTH-Related Protein Assays in Advanced Kidney Disease: Implications for Evaluation of Hypercalcemia
Hypercalcemia is a common and potentially serious electrolyte abnormality that is often observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). When malignancy is considered, parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) levels are often measured. PTHrP is produced by cancer cells and mimics the effec...
