How is a disease like elevated serum calcitonin levels diagnosed and differentiated from other symptoms?

The incidence of such a disease as increased serum calcitonin level is not very high, so many friends are not particularly familiar with increased serum calcitonin level, then, how to diagnose the difference between such a disease and other symptoms? The following is a brief introduction: Significantly elevated serum testosterone concentration: during the follicular phase of the normal menstrual cycle, the average serum testosterone concentration is 0.43ng/ml, with a high limit of 0.68ng/ml. If it exceeds 0.7ng/m1 (equal to 2.44nmol/L), it is called hypertestosteronemia, or hyperandrogenemia. The ovaries and adrenal cortex can synthesize cholesterol from acetic acid or absorb cholesterol from the blood as a substrate to synthesize steroid hormones, which are secreted into the blood circulation. The main androgens in the blood circulation are dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione (Delta;4A), testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Hypertestosteronemia is formed when the levels of these hormones, especially testosterone, are too high in the blood. Serum alkaline phosphatase may be progressively increased: in liver metastasis of cancer or liver disease, serum alkaline phosphatase may be progressively increased, often exceeding 20 gold A units, and gamma;-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma;-GT) may be positive. Glutathione aminotransferase and other liver function changes are not significant. Patients tend to die within a short period of time. They present with loss of appetite, nausea and wasting pain in the liver area? and sometimes jaundice may be present. The main features of the diagnosis are progressive enlargement of the liver in a short period of time, loss of normal contour, and nodularity on palpation with inconsistent tenderness. When the metastatic foci are larger than 2 cm health search, ultrasound and CT can be detected. Decreased serum HDL-C level: Hyperlipidemia is a systemic disease that refers to high blood cholesterol (TC) and/or triglycerides (TG) or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which is called dyslipidemia in modern medicine.
