triolein and Hodgkin-Disease

The paper is concerned with a study of the levels of total and ionized Ca and calcitropic hormones in the peripheral blood of primary patients with Hodgkin's disease and at different stages of treatment. Altogether 27 primary patients, 18 patients after radiotherapy and 30 patients after chemotherapy were examined. The absorption of 131I-glycerin trioleate in the intestine was determined in 15 patients during chemotherapy. Twenty healthy persons entered into the control group. No differences in the levels of total, ionized Ca, calcitonin and parathyroid hormone in the blood were noted, on an average, either in the patients or in the controls. The absorption of glycerin trioleate was unchanged in the patients as compared to the controls. An increased evacuation of the gastric content into the intestine was observed in the patients. The results obtained were suggestive of the absence of the ectopic production of calcitonin and parathyroid hormone in Hodgkin's disease. Modern intensive care of these patients did not result in Ca homeostatic disturbances in them.
