In 50 consecutive patients with cancer-associated hypercalcemia, nephrogenous cAMP, tubular P threshold, fasting Ca excretion, plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and immunoreactive parathyroid hormone were measured by 4 region-specific antiserums. Nephrogenous cAMP excretion was elevated in 41 patients and suppressed in 9 (means, 5.85 vs. 0.51 nmol per 100 ml of glomerular filtrate). There was no overlap between these groups. When compared with 15 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, the group with increased cAMP excretion had similar reductions in tubular P threshold; higher fasting Ca excretion (P < 0.01); marked reductions in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (P < 0.001); and lower levels of immunoreactive parathyroid hormone. Elevated excretion of nephrogenous cAMP may be a useful marker of humorally mediated cancer-associated hypercalcemia. This type of hypercalcemia is common. The humoral factor responsible for this syndrome is not native 1-84 parathyroid hormone. The various subtypes of cancer-associated hypercalcemia are biochemcially distinguishable from primary hyperparathyroidism.
