Polyuria hypercalcemia causing

Renal effects of hypercalcemia include reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), polyuria, nephrocalcinosis, and renal stone disease. Hypercalcemia causes renal vasoconstriction which may contribute to decreased GFR. The hypercalcemia-induced polyuria results from 1) an impairment of active transport of NaCl in the loop of Henle, distal tubule and collecting duct and 2) an inhibition of vasopressin-facilitated absorption of water in the distal nephron. As a direct result of the polyuria, many side effects including polydipsia, thirst, nocturia and dehydration are common. Precipitation of calcium salts within the kidney leads to chronic inflammatory reactions (nephrocalcinosis), fibrosis, renal impairment, nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis. Further renal damage may occur indirectly from hypertension. [Pg.246]

In this condition the renal tubules are unresponsive to antidiuretic hormone and, as such, the subject has polyuria. The condition may be congenital or acquired. Acquired nephrogenic diabetes insipidus can result from several causes, such as chronic renal disease, potassium deficiency including primary aldosteronism, drugs such as lithium, systemic diseases such as multiple myeloma, and chronic hypercalcemias, including hyperparathyroidism. The damage to the renal tubules... [Pg.142]
