    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Hypercalcemia, an elevated serum calcium level, can arise from various conditions, including primary hyperparathyroidism and neoplasia.
    • Management requires addressing both immediate electrolyte imbalances and the underlying etiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a comprehensive therapeutic strategy for managing hypercalcemia.
    • To differentiate treatment approaches based on clinical urgency and patient comorbidities.

    Main Methods:

    • Supportive measures: hydration, patient mobilization, medication review.
    • Pharmacological interventions: furosemide, corticosteroids, phosphorus, calcitonin, mithramycin.
    • Renal replacement therapy: peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis for specific patient groups.

  • Definitive treatment: surgical intervention for primary hyperparathyroidism.

    • Main Results:

    • Supportive care is foundational, aiming to stabilize electrolyte balance.
    • Acute management strategies vary, with saline and furosemide as first-line in emergencies, excluding patients with renal and heart failure.
    • Specific agents like calcitonin and corticosteroids offer temporary reduction, while mithramycin is effective for hypercalcemia of malignancy.
    • Addressing the root cause, such as surgical correction of hyperparathyroidism, is paramount.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypercalcemia management is multifaceted, integrating supportive care, pharmacological agents, and definitive treatments.
    • Treatment selection depends on the severity, underlying cause, and patient's clinical status, including renal function and cardiac health.
    • The ultimate goal is to correct electrolyte abnormalities to facilitate definitive treatment of the primary condition causing hypercalcemia.
