Many different health conditions can cause hypocalcemia, and it’s often caused by abnormal levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) or vitamin D in your body. Hypocalcemia can be mild or severe and temporary or chronic (lifelong).
The major factors that influence the serum calcium concentration are parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), the calcium ion itself [1,2], and phosphate. Low serum calcium concentrations are most often caused by disorders of PTH or vitamin D.
Hypocalcemia Causes. Usually, hypocalcemia happens when you pee out too much calcium or when your bones release too little calcium into your blood. The main causes include: Hypoparathyroidism.
Hypocalcemia may be associated with a spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from few (if any) symptoms if the hypocalcemia is mild and/or chronic to severe life-threatening symptoms if it is severe and/or acute. Thus, the management of hypocalcemia depends upon the severity of symptoms.
What causes hypocalcemia? Many people are at an increased risk for calcium deficiency as they age. This deficiency may be due to a variety of factors, including: poor calcium intake over a long...
Hypocalcemia most commonly results when too much calcium is lost in urine or when not enough calcium is moved from bones into the blood. Causes of hypocalcemia include the following: A low level of parathyroid hormone (hypoparathyroidism), as can occur when the parathyroid glands are damaged during thyroid gland surgery
Causes of hypocalcemia include hypoparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, and renal failure. Mild hypocalcemia may be asymptomatic or cause muscle cramps.
Hypocalcemia refers to low levels of calcium found on a blood test. It can cause symptoms like tingling, muscle cramps, and heart rhythm problems that can range from mild to life-threatening. Hypocalcemia is a particular problem for people who are hospitalized.
Hypocalcemia may be the result of low calcium production or insufficient calcium circulation in your body. A deficiency of magnesium or vitamin D is linked to most cases of...
Acquired causes include a variety of illnesses (eg, hypoparathyroidism, liver disease, kidney disease, COVID-19), diet, medication, and surgery (see Overview/Etiology)....
