Hypercalcemia as a side effect of potassium binding agents.

چکیده
Hypercalcemia is a potential adverse effect of calcium-containing ion exchange resins, often used in the treatment and prevention of hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We describe a series of seven outpatients with moderate CKD (mean glomerular filtration rate estimated with the CKD-EPI formula 41.29 ± 10.83 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), presenting mild hypercalcemia in relation to the treatment with calcium polystyrene sulfonate. Serum calcium increased a mean of 0.91 ± 0.46 mg/dL, with a mean concomitant decrease of serum intact parathormone (iPTH) of 52.24 ± 49.29 ng/dL. After treatment withdrawal or dose reduction, we observed a recovery of serum calcium and iPTH values. Treatment with calcic potassium binders should be included in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia in patients with moderate CKD.

متن کاملTreating osteoporosis by targeting parathyroid hormone to bone.
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem despite widespread use of bisphosphonate therapy. PTH(1-34) is a more effective treatment; but its use has been limited by side effects (hypercalcemia, tumor risk) and inconvenient dosing (daily injection). Long-acting forms of PTH are also effective but cause severe hypercalcemia, presumably from effects in kidney. We hypothesized that targeted del...

Hypercalcemia is often seen in patients with malignancies, and in the past treatment for this has traditionally included loop diuretics. Clinically, patients with hypercalcemia frequently present with polyuria and volume contraction which may be further exacerbated by diuretic therapy. In the lab, hypercalcemia has been shown to activate the calcium-sensing receptor in the thick ascending limb ...
