Abstract:
We report a case of paraneoplastic liver dysfunction associated with a renal cell carcinoma, which disappeared after surgery. A 62-year-old male presented with fatigue and weight loss. The most prominent laboratory abnormality was elevated alkaline phosphatase, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6 while normal aminotransferases. Computed tomography scan revealed a solid mass in the left kidney. A left radical nephrectomy was performed. After the surgery, biochemical abnormalities returned to normal.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
