Hypercalcemia is frequently encountered in both hospital wards and the primary care setting; 90% of cases can be attributed to primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy. However, a minority are caused by medications, of which calcium supplements have been an increasingly common etiology. We are presenting a case of hypercalcemia resulted after acute oral intake of a moderate amount of antacids (calcium tablets) and normalized after supplement withdrawal.
高钙血症在医院病房和基层医疗环境中都很常见;90%的病例可归因于原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进和恶性肿瘤。然而,少数病例是由药物引起的,其中补钙剂已成为越来越常见的病因。我们报告一例因急性口服适量抗酸剂(钙片)导致高钙血症,停药后血钙恢复正常的病例。
