hypercalcemia

What Are the Treatment Options for Hypercalcemia?


Treatment of hypercalcemia depends on the underlying cause, severity, and symptoms. Treatment options include:
Hydration: Intravenous fluids can help dilute the calcium concentration in the blood and promote renal excretion.
Bisphosphonates: These drugs inhibit bone resorption, thus reducing calcium release into the bloodstream.
Calcitonin: A hormone that helps lower calcium levels by inhibiting bone resorption and increasing renal excretion.
Corticosteroids may be used to reduce calcium absorption in cases of vitamin D toxicity.
Dialysis in severe cases to rapidly remove excess calcium.
