    Hyperthyroidism can cause hypercalcemia (high blood calcium) and hypercalciuria (high urinary calcium). Treatment of hyperthyroidism resolved these symptoms, indicating a direct link.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder.
    • Hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria are serious metabolic disturbances.

    Observation:

    • A 39-year-old woman presented with anorexia, constipation, vomiting, and somnolence.
    • Initial symptoms were misattributed to psychological or autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

    Findings:

    • Clinical and biochemical tests revealed hyperthyroidism.
    • The patient exhibited significant hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria.
    • Thyrostatic treatment led to symptom regression.
    • Subtotal thyroidectomy normalized serum calcium and urinary calcium levels.

    Implications:

  • Hyperthyroidism is a potential cause of hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism are crucial.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering endocrine disorders in patients with unexplained metabolic abnormalities.
