fluid/acid-base HYPER Ca Flashcards
Hyper Ca FA. Causes.
3 groups?
ALBUMIN!!!!!!
Hyperparathyroidism
Malignancy (breast, squamous cell, multiple myeloma)
menumonic: CHIMPANZEES
Hyper Ca Causes. CHIMPANZEES?
Ca supplementation
Hyperparathyroidism
Iatrogenic (thiazides, parenteral nutrition, immobility)
Milk-alkali syndrome (excessive intake of calcium and absorbable alkali)
Paget disease
Adrenal insuf/Acromegaly
Neoplasm
Zollinger-elison (eg. MEN 1)
Excess vitA
Excess vit D
Sarcoidosis or other granulomatous disease
Hyper Ca FA. Symptoms?
Asymtomatics
Symptoms - bones, stones, abdominl groans, pshichiatric overstones
Hyper Ca FA. Bones symptoms?
Osteopenia, fractures
Hyper Ca FA. Stones symptoms?
kidney stones
Hyper Ca FA. abdominal groans symptoms?
anorexia, constipation
Hyper Ca FA. prichiatric overtones symptoms?
weakness, fatige, irritability, altered mental state
Hyper Ca FA. Best initial test?
Check total/ionized calcium and albumin
Hyper Ca FA. reasoning of checkin Ca and albumin?
Ca bounded to albumin.
Changes in albumin conc. can lead to Ca conc. alterations, that do not necessarily affect ionized calcium (physiologic active form).
Hyper Ca Uptd.
Bound to plasma proteins (approximately 40 to 45 percent), notably albumin;
partly bound to small anions such as phosphate and citrate (approximately 15 percent);
and partly in the free or ionized state (approximately 40 to 45 percent).
.
Hyper Ca what ratio decr. albumin and Ca?
0,8 mg/dl fall for every 1g/dl
0,25 mmol/l for 10 g/l
Hyper Ca Corrected: For every gram of albumin above or below 4, the serum calcium is corrected, down or up, respectively, by 0.8 mg/dL.
.
Hyper Ca
corrected Ca formula (Payne’s formula)?
Corrected Ca (mmol/l) = measured Ca mmol/l + 0,02 x (40 - albumin g/L)
SITOS REIKS pagal vienetus: Corrected Ca (mg/dl) = measured Ca + 0,8 x (4- albumin g/dL)
Hyper Ca
FA. After checking Ca/albumin. what need to consider?
Phosphate, Mg, PTH, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase levels.
Hyper Ca

Hyper Ca pagal etiologijos nustatyma, koks pirmas istyrimas?
PTH.
Tada nustatom ar cia su relatad or non related to parathyroid
If elevated - cause parathyroid
Hyper Ca uptd. parathyroid mediated? causes
Primary hyperparathyroidism (sporadic)
Inherited variants: MEN, Familial isolated hyperparathyroidism, Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome
Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (kidney failure)
Hyper Ca uptd. non - parathyroid mediated? causes
Hypercalcemia of malignancy
Vit D intox
Granulomatous diseases
Drugs: Thiazide diuretics, Lithium, vit A excess
other: Hyperthyroidism, Acromegaly, Pheochromocytoma, Adrenal insufficiency, Immobilization, Parenteral nutrition, Milk-alkali syndrome
Hyper Ca FA diagnostic algo.
1st 2 steps?
Hypercalcemia (corrected Ca)
then
PTH concentration
