There is in the hospital a patient with mild to moderate hypercalcaemia
(approx 2.90 to 3.00 mmol/L). He is suffering from heart failure and
also renal failure (creatinine runs at about 270 umol/L). He is on a
variety of medications, antibiotics, diuretics, aspirin and isosorbide
nitrate, but his ionized calcium is normal, running at 1.15 mmol/L or
thereabouts. As far as is known he does not have a neoplasm.
Any comments?
