Subject: Hypercalcaemia hypocalciuria?
65 year old female, Calcium varying around 2.6 -2.65 mmol/L,(in general she
has had an albumin around 48 g/l, with Calcium of 2.78, so I have applied
the rough correction) PTH 29 (our RR 10-65), normal renal function, Urinary
Calcium (collected into acid) 1.7 mmol/L. Is this is a Hypercalcaemia
hypocalciuric patient, and if so, does anyone know whether the PTH should be
suppressed more than this in these patients?
