hipercalcemia
Sign in to saveHypercalcemia, also spelled hypercalcaemia, is a high calcium (Ca2+) level in the blood serum. The normal range for total calcium is 2.1–2.6 mmol/L (8.8–10.7 mg/dL, 4.3–5.2 mEq/L), with levels greater than 2.6 mmol/L defined as hypercalcemia. Those with a mild increase that has developed slowly typically have no symptoms. In those with greater levels or rapid onset, symptoms may include abdominal pain, bone pain, confusion, depression, weakness, kidney stones or an abnormal heart rhythm including cardiac arrest.

Hipercalcemia é um nível elevado de cálcio no sangue. (Concentrações normais: 9 - 10.5 mg/dL ou 2.2 - 2.6 mmol/L). A hipercalcemia é um problema clínico relativamente comum. Ocorre quando a entrada de cálcio na circulação excede a excreção de cálcio na urina ou deposição nos ossos. Isso ocorre quando há absorção óssea acelerada, absorção gastrointestinal excessiva, ou excreção renal diminuída de cálcio. Em algumas doenças, mais do que um mecanismo podem estar envolvidos. Como exemplos, o excesso de vitamina D aumenta tanto a absorção intestinal de cálcio, quanto a reabsorção óssea, e o hiperparatireoidismo primário aumenta a reabsorção óssea, reabsorção tubular de cálcio e a síntese renal de calcitriol (1,25-dihidroxivitamina D, o metabólito mais ativo da vitamina D) e a absorção intestinal de cálcio. Entre todas as causas de hipercalcemia, hiperparatireoidismo primário e câncer são os mais comuns, correspondendo a cerca de 90% dos casos.
