Hypercalcemia is a frequently encountered electrolyte abnormality with a well-described differential diagnosis and classic algorithm for evaluation. The treatment for hypercalcemia is dependent on the underlying etiology. Hypervitaminosis D is an uncommon cause of hypercalcemia, but the use of vitamin D supplementation has expanded and case reports of supplemental vitamin D induced hypercalcemia have become more frequent. We present a case of hypervitaminosis D-induced altered mental status where diagnosis was delayed and additional invasive testing was performed due to an assumption regarding phosphatemia.
高钙血症是一种常见的电解质异常，其鉴别诊断明确，评估有经典的算法。高钙血症的治疗取决于潜在病因。维生素D过多症是高钙血症的罕见病因，但维生素D补充剂的使用有所增加，补充维生素D引起高钙血症的病例报告也越来越常见。我们报告一例维生素D过多症导致精神状态改变的病例，由于对血磷的假设，诊断延迟并进行了额外的侵入性检查。
