Abstract:
Hypocalcemia often exists in critical illness children. Most of the sick children do not have an underlying disease of calcium homeostasis, and the mechanism of the hypocalcemia is complicated. Abnormal values of blood calcium may be a sign of critical illness and normalize spontaneously with resolution of the primary disease process. Hypocalcemia may be a autoprotection , and it may be harmful if we try to correct it. This article focuses on the theory and clinical treatment of hypocalcemia in critical illness children.
