Hypercalcemia is a common and sometimes urgent clinical problem. In general, hypercalcemia occurs when there is increased bone resorption relative to new bone formation, increased gastrointestinal calcium absorption, or decreased renal calcium excretion. In many instances, a combination of these processes is involved. Appropriate management of the patient with hypercalcemia requires understanding the role of calcium in homeostatic systems as well as the conditions under which failure of normal calcium regulation may occur. |
