Abstract

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is an important tumor marker in the diagnosis and monitoring of treatment response in childhood cancers such as germ cell tumors and liver tumors. The effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on increased HCG is not a well-researched issue. HCG elevation of unknown cause not only causes diagnostic confusion, but also causes economic loss by necessitating many unnecessary examinations.In the current report a boy with elevated HCG levels with chronic kidney disease is presented.

Abstract

İnsan koryonik gonadotropin (HCG), germ hücreli tümörler ve karaciğer tümörleri gibi çocukluk çağı kanserlerinde tanı ve tedavi yanıtının izlenmesinde önemli bir tümör belirtecidir. Kronik böbrek hastalığının (KBH) artan HCG üzerindeki etkisi iyi araştırılmış bir konu değildir. Nedeni bilinmeyen HCG yüksekliği sadece tanı karmaşasına neden olmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda birçok gereksiz tetkiki gerektirerek ekonomik kayıplara da neden olur.Bu raporda HCG düzeyi yüksek, kronik böbrek hastalığı olan bir erkek çocuk sunulmaktadır.
