Abstract:
Hypercalcemic crisis (HC) is a rare but critical electrolyte disorder, which may result in death if rapid correct management is not given due to the injury of the neurologic, cardiovascular and renal systems. Severe primary hyperthyroidism (PHPT) is listed as the most common cause of hypercalcemic crisis. Prompt surgical removal of the parathyroid glands is the most effective cure for HC. Nevertheless, hypercalcemic crisis after a successful parathyroidectomy is infrequent. Now, we report a case admitted to the Department of General Surgery of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People’s Hospital about a successful therapy of hypercalcemic crisis postparathyroidectomy in Sep. 2019, aiming to remind clinicians of the individualized program of calcium supplement after surgery of hyperparathyroidism and emphasize the value of renal dialysis in HC.
