“…Urine calcium, phosphate, and creatinine levels can help determine whether the kidneys are inappropriately retaining calcium, and a renal ultrasound should be performed if hypercalcemia is persistent and severe. 6 Infants with SCFN typically have low parathormone levels with elevated 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, but 1,25hydroxyvitamin D levels may occasionally be normal. Granulomatous lesions, similar to sarcoidosis, can increase 1hydroxylase activity, with increased extrarenal production of 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D. Local inflammation may increase production of bone-resorbing prostaglandin E, which, in turn, may lead to osteoclast activation.…”
