Hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia

Question 1

What are effects of hypocalcemia (mild and severe) versus hypercalcemia in terms of reflexivity, and other sx?

Answer 1

Mild hypocalcemia🡪hyporeflexia

Extreme hypocalcemia🡪hypereflexia (seizures, tetany, twitching=involuntary contractions, numbness, tingling, QT prolongation, and muscle spasms)
Muscle cramps and spasms also seen in hypokalemia

Hypercalcemia: Get “stones, bones, groans, thrones, psych overtones” with hypercalcemia=calcium renal stones, bone pain, abdominal pain, increased urination, AMS
