- W42851672 abstract "Severe hypercalcemia is a medical emergency requiring urgent treatment. It most commonly is caused by malignant tumors, as in the case study, but can also be caused by advanced hyperparathyroidism or high serum levels of vitamin D. The patient described in the case study shows clinical evidence of volume contraction due to hypercalcemia-related anorexia and vomiting. His elevated serum concentrations of urea nitrogen and creatinine reflect intravascular volume depletion and hypercalcemia-induced reduction of renal perfusion. He is also likely to have irreversible renal damage as a result of nephrocalcinosis. His central nervous system depression is most likely a result of hypercalcemia, but other central nervous system disorders such as cerebral metastases should be considered. Appropriate treatment would include intravenous fluids to correct volume depletion, dilute extracellular fluid calcium, and promote renal calcium excretion. Before waiting for the effects of volume expansion, the first dose of an inhibitor of bone resorption should be given. The agent of choice now (this may change when second-generation bisphosphonates become available) is plicamycin. Etidronate is a reasonable second choice. Because both drugs require at least 48 hours before their hypocalcemic action is manifest, calcitonin could be used to accelerate the rate of decline of the serum calcium. As the patient becomes more alert, weight-bearing and ambulation should be encouraged. With this combination of therapeutic modalities, this patient's serum calcium level should be corrected within 3 to 5 days. Intermittent injections of mithramycin or etidronate could be given on an outpatient basis approximately once a week in order to maintain the serum calcium within the normal range. One of the most important aspects of treatment in hypercalcemic patients is eradication of the underlying disease, which usually calls for specific antitumor therapy, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. Most of the agents currently available for the correction of hypercalcemia have cumulative toxicities or are only transiently effective and, therefore, their use should be considered a temporizing measure until specific treatment directed at the primary disease takes effect." @default.
