Overview
Hypercalcemia is having serum calcium level of >10.5 mg/dL (>2.5 mmol/L).
Mild hypercalcemia is usually asymptomatic. While, more severe hypercalcemia has a constellation of clinical manifestations commonly described as "bones, abdominal moans, stones & groans."
Diagnosis is made by measuring total serum calcium and ionized calcium at least twice.
Surgery is the treatment of choice for hypercalcemic patients with classic symptoms or complications of primary hyperparathyroidism.
For further information regarding the management of Hypercalcemia, please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
