Management of Hypercalcemia

Robert S. Schoaps
, Sprague W. Hazard

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Although the differential for hypercalcemia in the surgical patient is broad, a stepwise approach to the diagnosis and management will ensure adequate management of this common electrolyte abnormality. Hyperparathyroidism and malignancy account for 90% of hypercalcemic patients. Treatment is largely etiology specific and may be altered based on the presence or absence of associated symptoms.
