Abstract:
Objective:The study retrospectively analyzed the etiology, clinical manifestations, emergency treatment and etiological treatment of a large sample of cases with hypercalcemic crisis.Methods:The clincial data of patients with hypercalcaemia cirisis who were administered in First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2009 to July 2022 were analyzed, inculding the general data, clinical manifestations, etiology, photographic examination, emergency treatment, etiological treatment, serological examination before and after treatment, pathological immunohistochemical findings and prognosis.Results:A total of 143 hypercalcaemia crisis patients(84 males and 59 females) with a mean age of 53.51±16.60 were enrolled. The most common disease was hyperparathyroidism(62/143), followed by solid malignancy(57/143) and multiple myeloma(12/143). Patients presented with digestive system symptoms at 76.91%, followed by neurological symptoms at 63.60%, urinary system symptoms at 58.76%, musculoskeletal symptoms at 55.23%, and cardiovascular system symptoms at 32.91%. After emergency calcium-lowering treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemic crisis in 143 patients was 100%(143/143), and after etiological treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemia was 85.31%(122/143).Conclusion:Early identification, emergency treatment and etiology treatment of hypercalcaemia crisis are essential. Effective treament with comprehensive calcium reduction can quickly relieve clinical symptoms and create opportunities for treatment for the cause. Targeted etiological interventions can lead to the correction or long-term remission of hypercalcemia.
