Hypocalcemia in Critical Illness

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1986
CALCIUM is an essential ion required for many biologic processes, including neuronal conduction, synaptic transmission, hormone secretion, mitotic division, cardiac automaticity, and excitation-contraction coupling in muscle. Calcium is also a major intracellular messenger, is needed for cellular processes that require movement, and is required by many

Hypocalcemia in Rhabdomyolysis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1987
To the Editor.— The interesting review entitled "Hypocalcemia in Critical Illness" by Zaloga and Chernow1omits several important points in discussing rhabdomyolysis and hypocalcemia. These are worth discussing, since nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis may cause 7% of all cases of acute renal failure2and may be accompanied by dramatic hypocalcemia.3 ...

Hypocalcemia After Thyroidectomy

Archives of Surgery, 1992
Serum calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, osmolarity, total protein, albumin, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin values were systematically surveyed in 135 patients who underwent thyroidectomy and in 104 control surgical patients.

Hypercalcemia and Hypocalcemia

2003
Ninety-nine percent of total body calcium is within bone; 1% of this is rapidly exchangeable with extracellular calcium. Extracellular calcium is a substrate for bone mineralization. In the circulation, calcium is bound to proteins, principally albumin; however, 50% circulates as ionized calcium.

Phototherapy-induced hypocalcemia

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1979
THE EFFECTIVENESS of phototherapy in the management of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has been demonstrated in many controlled clinical trials. '-~ Some controversy exists concerning the safety of phototherapy because of physical and metabolic side effects reported in the treated infants?

Hypoparathyroidism and Hypocalcemia

2002
This 33-yr-old man presented with recurrent kidney stones and hypercalcemia, and was diagnosed as having primary hyperparathyroidism (serum Ca 10–12 mg/dL, serum PTH 95 pg/mL). Further work-up demonstrated a growth hormone and prolactin secreting pituitary tumor, a spinal cord ependymoma, and an insulinoma; therefore, a diagnosis of MEN 1 Syndrome was ...

A Quick Reference on Hypocalcemia

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2017
Primary hypoparathyroidism should be considered in dogs with vague signs, including tremors, facial rubbing, and seizures. Ionized hypocalcemia should be considered in dogs with protein-losing enteropathy, especially lymphangiectasia caused by hypovitaminosis D. Ionized hypocalcemia typically occurs only in advanced chronic kidney disease.

The Hypocalcemia of Acute Pancreatitis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1975
Variables of calcium metabolism were measured in 11 patients with clearly documented acute pancreatitis. Total and ionized calcium levels were either low or in the low-normal range as were phosphorus and total magnesium levels. Parathyroid hormone levels were high, and there was a significant inverse correlation with ionized calcium.
