    A kidney donor developed hypercalcemia after surgery due to a parathyroid adenoma. This condition was likely unmasked by reduced kidney function following nephrectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Kidney donation is a significant medical procedure.
    • Normocalcemia is the normal level of calcium in the blood.
    • Hypercalcemia is an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood.

    Observation:

    • A patient who was normocalcemic before donating a kidney to her son experienced hypercalcemia post-surgery.
    • The hypercalcemia was diagnosed as being caused by a parathyroid adenoma.

    Findings:

    • The parathyroid adenoma led to hypercalcemia in the patient.
    • Reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after nephrectomy is suspected to have unmasked the condition.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of monitoring calcium levels after nephrectomy.

  • Parathyroid adenomas can present atypically, especially in the context of renal function changes.
  • Understanding the interplay between renal function and calcium homeostasis is crucial for patient management.
