    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Hypocalcemia is a known complication in leukemia patients.
    • Typically, hypocalcemia is attributed to renal impairment or low serum albumin levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report cases of hypocalcemia in leukemia patients without the usual underlying causes.
    • To investigate potential novel mechanisms for hypocalcemia in specific leukemia subtypes.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting on four leukemia patients with unexplained hypocalcemia.
    • Clinical data review including laboratory values and disease characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Four patients presented with hypocalcemia unrelated to renal impairment or hypoalbuminemia.

  • One patient had chronic lymphatic leukemia with overwhelming infection.
  • Three patients had chronic myelogenous leukemia in accelerated phase with specific clinical and hematological features.

    • Conclusions:

    • The etiology of hypocalcemia in these reported leukemia cases remains undetermined.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of hypocalcemia in advanced leukemia.
