Nephrogenous cyclic AMP in primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients with or without hypercalcaemia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Urine calcium after an overnight fast is higher in osteoporotic than in normal post-menopausal women. The question is whether this is the cause or effect of the bone-losing state. OBJECTIVE:To establish whether the elevated obligatory calcium loss in osteoporotic women is due to a raised filtered load of ca...
