About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Hypercalcemia" by Heidi Chamberlain Shea, MD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about hypercalcemia, a medical condition in which there is an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood. This condition can occur due to a variety of underlying causes, including:

Primary hyperparathyroidism: This is the most common cause of hypercalcemia, and it occurs when there is an overproduction of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands.
Cancer: Some types of cancer, such as lung, breast, and multiple myeloma, can cause hypercalcemia.
Medications: Certain medications, such as thiazide diuretics, lithium, and vitamin D supplements, can increase the level of calcium in the blood.
Immobilization: Prolonged immobilization, such as during bed rest or after a surgery, can cause hypercalcemia.
Symptoms of hypercalcemia can include fatigue, weakness, nausea, constipation, confusion, and muscle weakness. In severe cases, hypercalcemia can lead to kidney stones, bone pain, and even coma. Treatment for hypercalcemia depends on the underlying cause, but may include medications to lower calcium levels or surgery to remove the parathyroid gland.

Goals of Discussion Review Calcium metabolism Differential Diagnosis of Hypercalcemia Treatment options Calcium case presentations
Slide 3-

Calcium Physiology An essential intracellular and extracellular cation Extracellular calcium is required to maintain normal biological function of nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, and blood coagulation Intracellular calcium is needed for normal activity of many enzymes Preservation of the integrity of cellular membrane Regulation of endocrine and exocrine secretory activities Activation of compliment system Bone metabolism
Slide 4-

Role of Calcium Bone mineralization Muscle contraction Skeletal Cardiac Smooth muscle Blood clotting Nerve impulse transmission
Slide 5-

Bone metabolism Parathyroid hormone (PTH) Calcium Phosphorus Vitamin D Calcitonin
Slide 6-

Calcium 41% combined with plasma proteins Not diffusible One gram per deciliter of albumin binds approximately 0.8 mg/dl of calcium 9% combined with anionic substances Citrate and phosphate Not ionized Diffusible 50% is diffusible and ionized Most important in bodily functions

Effects of CalciumHypocalcemia Increased neuronal membrane permeability to sodium ions facilitates action potentials When calcium levels < 6mg/dl Tetany Chvostek’s sign Trousseau’s sign Calcium <4mg/dl = Death
Slide 8-

Effects of Hypercalcemia Calcium >12 mg/dl Nervous system depressed Fatigue Depression Constipation Anorexia Polyuria Most common nocturia Parathyroid poisoning Calcium > 17mg/dl Calcium phosphate crystals precipitate

Calcium PhysiologyTarget Organs Small intestine : approx. 40% absorbed, 50% of that - excreted into bile and other intestinal secretions. So only 20% of the total amount of Ca ingested daily is available to circulate between bone and extracellular fluid. Kidney : Glomerulus filters out the Ca that is not bound to protein. Proximal tubule - approx. 50% to 70% is reabsorbed, Ca reabsorption mirrors Na reabsorption. Ascending limb of the loop of henle - approx. 30% to 40% reabsorbed Distal nephron - about 10% reabsorbed. PTH and activated Vit D increases Ca absorption during Ca deficient states. Normally kidney excretes approx. 200 mg /day of Ca to maintain homeostasis. During states of severe Ca depletion, the Kidney can decrease urinary excretion to 50mg /day or less.

Parathyroid Actions Increases calcium Regulates intestinal absorption 25-OH vitamin D 1,25-OH vitamin D Renal absorption of calcium/excretion of phosphorus Bone reabsorption Osteolysis
Slide 20-

Parathyroid and Bone Osteoblasts + Osteocytes = Osteocytic membrane system Osteocytic pumps Pump calcium from bone to ECF To maintain calcium concentration in bone fluid, osteolysis occurs and calcium phosphate is resorbed from bone Fibrous and gel matrix remain intact
Slide 21-

Parathyroid and Bone PTH stimulates osteocytic pump Increases permeability of osteocytic membrane allowing calcium to diffuse Osteoblasts,cytes and clasts do not have PTH receptors PTH stimulates osteoblasts and cytes, which then activate osteoclasts via “signaling” system PTH indirectly stimulates formation of new osteoclasts Both cell lines are activated but clastic activity > blastic
Slide 22-

Calcitonin Secreted by Parafollicular (C cells) in the thyroid Temporarily lowers calcium levels Decreases osteoclastic activity Stimulated by high calcium levels Stimulating a distal tubular - mediated calciuresis
Slide 23-

Calcium Caveats Respiratory alkalosis and elevated pH Increase in the binding of calcium Lowers ionized calcium. Decrease in pH has the opposite effect. As a general rule a shift of 0.1 pH unit produces a change in ionized calcium of 0.04 to 0.05 mmol/L Chelators such as citrate may transiently decrease ionized calcium Blood transfussions

Formulas for Correction 0.8 for each gm of Albumin 0.16mg/dl for each gm of globulin. FEca= (uCA x sCR)/(sCA x uCR) FEca <1% - Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, FEca >2% - primary hyperparathyroidism  in pH will  protein bound Ca by 0.12mg/dl 80-90% of protein bound Ca is bound to Albumin. Increase in serum pH of 0.1 may cause decrease in ionized Ca of 0.16mg/dl Calcium : Protein bound - 40%; Complexed - 13%; Ionized fraction - 47%

Treatment for Hypercalemia Gallium nitrate Steroids IV Phosphate Dialysis Others Hydration Furosemide Bisphosphonate Calcitonin Mithramycin
Slide 34-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Hydration First step in the management of severe hypercalcemia. --isotonic saline Usually reduces - 1.6-2.4mg/dl Hydration alone rarely leads to normalization in severe hypercalcemia Rate of IV saline based on severity of hypercalcemia and tolerance of volume expansion
Slide 35-

Treatment for HypercalemiaLoop Diuretics Facilitate urinary excretion of calcium Inhibits calcium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle Guard against volume overload Volume expansion must precede the administration of furosemide Drug’s effect depends on delivery of calcium to the ascending limb. Needs frequent measurement of lytes and urine output
Slide 36-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Calcitonin Not as effective as bisphosphonate, tachyphylaxis quickly occurs and limits therapeutic efficacy Mithramycin Toxic effect limits it’s use, reserved for difficult cases of hypercalcemia that are related to malignancy Gallium Nitrate Need to infuse it over 5 days, nephrotoxity limits it’s use, not used frequently Corticosteroids For myeloma, lymphoma, Sarcoidosis, or vit D toxicity Decreases GI absorption 200-300mg hydrocortisone for up to 5 days Slow response limits it’s use Hemodialysis Zero or low calcium bath, In selected condition, eg-hypercalcemia complicated by renal failure
Slide 37-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Bisphosphonate Structurally related to pyrophosphate P-C-P bound is a back bone that renders them resistant to phosphates. They bind to hydroxyapatite in bone and inhibit the dissolution of crystals. Their great affinity for bone and their resistance to degradation account for their extremely long half life in bone.
Slide 38-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Bisphosphonate Poor GI absorption- <10% ETIDRONATE, PAMIDRONATE,CLODRONATE Etidronate- 7.5mg/kg iv over 4 hr for 3-7 days Serum calcium begins to decrease within 2 days after first dose Response better if patient is well hydrated Oral bisphosphonate to prevent recurrent hypercalcemia. Adverse effect-increase creatinine, phosphate Long term use-impair bone formation, osteomalacia
Slide 39-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Bisphosphonate Pamidronate Inhibits osteoclast function The most potent bisphosphonate 60mg to 90 mg IV over 24hr 70% to 100% of patients Decreased calcium within 24 hr of treatment 2/3rd of this group had normal calcium within 7 days Adverse effect- Mild transient increase in temp(<2○ C), transient leukopenia, small reduction in phosphate level Excreted by kidney- dose adjustment
Slide 40-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Mithramycin An inhibitor of RNA synthesis in osteoclasts IV 25 microgram/kg over 4-6 hr Begins to decrease in 12hr, max in 48-72 hr Duration of normocalcemia ranges from a few days to several weeks Depending on the extent of ongoing bone resorption Adverse effect- Nausea- Minimize with slow iv Avoid extravasation-cellulitis Hepatotoxic- in 20% patients Nephrotoxic- increase in creatinine, proteinuria Thrombocytopenia Contraindication-liver, kidney dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, or any coagulopathy
Slide 41-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Gallium Nitrate Inhibit bone resorption by adsorbing to and reducing the solubility of hydroxyapatite crystals Adverse effect- Nephrotoxity, hypophosphatemia, small reduction in hemoglobin concentration Clinical experience limited
Slide 42-

Treatment for Hypercalemia GLUCOCORTICOIDS- Inhibits the growth of neoplastic lymphoid tissue, counteracting the effects of vitamin D PHOSPHATE- Can lower calcium rapidly and profoundly, Very dangerous Restricted to patient with extreme, life threatening hypercalcemia Last resort Contraindications-Hyperphosphatemia and azotemia
Slide 43-

Treatment for Hypercalemia Choice of Agent Mild (<12mg/dl) Hydration with saline Lasix Moderate (12-14 mg/dl) with symptoms Bisphosphonate Severe life threatening (>14mg/dl) Saline + Calcitonin + mithramycin Alternatively bisphosphonate, Steroids if sensitive Hypercalcemia secondary to malignancy- Survival after the appearance of hypercalcemia is very poor Median of 3 months.
