Abstract:
A patient with hypercalcemia was found to have thyrotoxicosis and no other underlying cause for the elevated serum calcium level. Radioiodine therapy relieved hyperthyroidism and hypercalcemia. We discuss the incidence of hypercalcemia in patients with thyrotoxicosis and mechanisms for hypercalcemia in hyperthyroidism.
