thank you for another great lecture...
I recently had a patient with Severe Acute Pancreatitis with Hypercalcemia as the most attributable cause...
scanning through her files, we found that her GP had prescribed her Vit D sachets of 60k units weekly for 8 weeks... that too empirically...

Thank you, good lecture. I ran into your clip said May be no need to correct Calcuim ion, I didn’t read the paper look too difficult to me :), so you mean just take the lab result as it it ?

[sunving]

At 13:28, you say "in calcitriol deficiency" but on the screen it shows "Vitamin D deficiency (i.e. low calcidiol)". Which one are you referring to?

[natenute]

Vit D stimulating renal Ca reabsorption? How? Did you mean phosphate reabsorption by any chance? GI yes but renal?

I bought a Calcium supplement last night and it is Tricalcium Phosphate. Is this okay to use? I'm not calcium deficient, it's just on the low side of normal (54 year old woman) with results at 9.1. Thank you!

I've been having cramps and numbness in my hands feet and face for a few years. when it's bad my hands will cramp closed and the rest of my body will tighten and lock. I was told it was dehydration/potassium/ magnesium. I did the cheek tap test and my lip twitches...could it be calcium?

[rishuvidhatri]

can i get pdf of calcium and phosphorus lectures

[vesme]

are we talking about CKD and hypoparathyroidsim or hyperparathyroidism, I thought hypo created hypocalcemia

[isocmedicz]

Why does hypocalcaemia cause tetany/reduced AP threshold?

[tgsamiid]

Is it really hard to get pregnant with hypocalcemia ?
