    Low magnesium levels in Crohn's disease patients can mask hypercalcemia, even with vitamin D and calcium supplementation. Correcting magnesium deficiency may reveal underlying high calcium levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Nutritional Science

    Background:

    • Crohn's disease often involves malabsorption, potentially leading to nutrient deficiencies.
    • Vitamin D and calcium are commonly supplemented in patients with Crohn's disease.

    Observation:

    • A patient with Crohn's disease presented with normal serum calcium despite supplementation, during a period of low serum magnesium.
    • Subsequent magnesium supplementation led to the precipitation of hypercalcemia.

    Findings:

    • Magnesium deficiency can suppress serum calcium levels, masking potential hypercalcemia.
    • The interplay between magnesium and calcium homeostasis is critical.

    Implications:

    • Assessing magnesium status is crucial in Crohn's disease patients with unexplained calcium levels.
