[Treatment of hypercalcemia].

Hypercalcemia may have various causes. I should nevertheless be rapidly treated. Among recent treatmens, we may quote diuresis with furosemide, calcitonin, mithramycin, which are the most effective. More recently indomethacin has been used and may be more specific for neoplastic hypercalcemia. These various treatments should be proposed depending on the level of serum calcium, the rapidity of onset and the presumed cause.
