  2. Hypocalcemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocalcemia

    The most common cause for hypocalcemia is iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism. [2] Other causes include other forms of hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, kidney failure, pancreatitis, calcium channel blocker overdose, rhabdomyolysis, tumor lysis syndrome, and medications such as bisphosphonates or denosumab. [1]

  3. Calcium channel blocker toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel_blocker...

    Calcium channel blocker toxicity is the taking of too much of the medications known as calcium channel blockers (CCBs), either by accident or on purpose. [3] This often causes a slow heart rate and low blood pressure. [1] This can progress to the heart stopping altogether. [2]

  4. Thiazide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiazide

    Hypocalcemia (low blood calcium) can be caused by a variety of conditions that reduce dietary calcium absorption, increase calcium excretion or both. Positive calcium balance occurs when calcium excretion is decreased and intake remains constant so that calcium is retained within the body. [ 20 ]

  5. Disorders of calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_calcium...

    Parathyroid related hypocalcemia includes post-surgical hypoparathyroidism, inherited hypoparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism, and pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism. [1] Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism is the most common form, and can be temporary (due to suppression of tissue after removal of a malfunctioning gland) or permanent, if all ...

  6. Loop diuretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_diuretic

    The loss of magnesium as a result of loop diuretics has also been suggested as a possible cause of pseudogout (chondrocalcinosis). [18] Infrequent ADRs include: dyslipidemia, increased serum creatinine concentration, hypocalcemia, rash. Metabolic alkalosis may also be seen with loop diuretic use. [citation needed]

  7. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    The most common causes of hypercalcemia are certain types of cancer, hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, excessive ingestion of vitamin D, sarcoidosis, and tuberculosis. [3] Hyperparathyroidism and malignancy are the predominant causes. [14] It can also be caused by muscle cell breakdown, prolonged immobilization ...

  8. Furosemide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furosemide

    Other electrolyte abnormalities that can result from furosemide use include hyponatremia, hypochloremia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia. [31] In the treatment of heart failure, many studies have shown that the long-term use of furosemide can cause varying degrees of thiamine deficiency, so thiamine supplementation is also suggested. [32]

  9. Tumor lysis syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor_lysis_syndrome

    Hyperphosphatemia causes acute kidney injury in tumor lysis syndrome, because of deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in the kidney parenchyma. [2] Hypocalcemia. Because of the hyperphosphatemia, calcium is precipitated to form calcium phosphate, leading to hypocalcemia. [2] Symptoms of hypocalcemia include (but are not limited to): [9] tetany
