Hypoparathyroidism
Acute hypocalcemia
medical emergency and demands
urgent treatment, whatever the
cause
Treatment of chronic hypocalcemia is
more dependent on the cause.
In hypoparathyroidism the aim is not to
achieve normalization of the plasma calcium,
rather to render the patient asymptomatic with
a plasma calcium at or just below the normal
lower limit. The reason for this is that the
renal retention of calcium brought about
by PTH has been lost.
Makannya, usaha apapun yg dilakukan untuk
meningkatkna kadar kalsium plasma bisa
nyebabin hypercalciuria, with the risk of
nephrocalcinosis and renal stones.
Tetapi intravenous calcium dapat
mengiritasi pembuluh vena, jd lebih
baik diinfus into a large vein or
through a central venous catheter.
Most patients will not achieve adequate
control with such treatment. In those
cases it is necessary to use vitamin D or
its metabolites in pharmacological doses
to maintain plasma calcium.
The more potent analogs of vitamin D,
such as calcitriol or alfacalcidol, have the
advantage over highdose calciferol that it
is easier to make changes in therapy in
response toplasma calcium levels.
