Investigating hypercalcemia caused by paraffin oil injections

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to understand the health risks associated with the injection of paraffin oil into skeletal muscles, particularly among young men seeking cosmetic enhancements. It will involve a large group of participants who have injected varying amounts of paraffin oil, focusing on identifying risk factors for developing hypercalcemia and exploring the underlying mechanisms of the condition. The study will also culture granuloma tissue from selected patients to investigate the production of activated vitamin D and parathyroid hormone-related peptide. The findings could provide insights into the pathogenesis of hypercalcemia linked to cosmetic procedures.
