Differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia

 

As an adjunct to serum parathyroid hormone measurements, especially in the diagnosis of parathyroid hormone resistance states, such as pseudohypoparathyroidism

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) functions as an intracellular "second messenger" regulating the activity of intracellular enzymes or proteins in response to a variety of hormones (eg, parathyroid hormone).

 

Urinary cAMP is elevated in about 85% of patients with hyperparathyroidism.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

CREATININE, URINE

No reference values apply. Interpret with other clinical data.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Urinary adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) is elevated in about 85% of patients with hyperparathyroidism and in about 50% of patients with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Parathyroid suppression (hypoparathyroidism) does not lower urinary adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) excretion to definitively subnormal values.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is isolated from the urine using a single anion exchange column. An internal standard (8-methyl amino cAMP) is used to correct for recovery losses. Once the cAMP has been eluted from the column, it is added to a solution and injected onto the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry system. Quantitation is by peak area measurement against a calibration standard containing known quantities of cAMP and internal standard. Urine and serum creatinine levels are used to determine the clearance of cAMP from the kidneys.(Unpublished Mayo method)

 

Creatinine:

The enzymatic method is based on the determination of sarcosine from creatinine with the aid of creatininase, creatinase, and sarcosine oxidase. The liberated hydrogen peroxide is measured via a modified Trinder reaction using a colorimetric indicator. Optimization of the buffer system and the colorimetric indicator enables the creatinine concentration to be quantified both precisely and specifically.(Package insert: Creatinine plus v2.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
