    Hypothyroidism can alter calcium levels. Thyroid hormone replacement normalized hypercalcemia in a hypothyroid patient by improving renal calcium excretion and parathyroid gland function.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology
    • Calcium Homeostasis

    Background:

    • Hypothyroidism impacts calcium homeostasis, affecting bone turnover, serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
    • Thyroid hormones play a role in regulating calcium balance.

    Observation:

    • A 52-year-old hypothyroid woman presented with hypercalcemia.
    • Her condition involved elevated PTH and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels, with reduced 24-hour urinary calcium excretion and calcium/creatinine clearance ratio.

    Findings:

    • Thyroid hormone replacement therapy normalized her hypercalcemia and associated biochemical parameters.
    • The hypercalcemia was attributed to decreased renal calcium excretion and altered parathyroid gland sensitivity to calcium.

    Implications:

    • Thyroid hormone directly influences parathyroid hormone secretion and renal calcium handling.
    • Clinical interpretation of PTH, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and urinary calcium requires consideration of thyroid hormone status.
