Hypercalcemia

Calcium is an essential cation that regulates myocardial activity, nerve transmission, vascular health, intracellular signaling, hormonal secretion, and other physiological functions and requires very tight regulation and homeostasis, which is accomplished mainly by the kidneys, bones, and gastrointestinal tract. Both hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia can result in detrimental acute and chronic effects on the body. This course discussion mainly focuses on hypercalcemia, including its etiology, common clinical presentation, and available treatment options. Although often asymptomatic and typically discovered on routine blood work, hypercalcemia can lead to acute and chronic effects on cardiac tissue, the renal system, and bone health. This activity helps the reader obtain a focused history and physical examination followed by a comprehensive targeted laboratory and imaging investigations to manage the condition properly, empowering healthcare professionals to treat hypercalcemia through various approaches and interdisciplinary teams.
