2. Hypercalcaemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercalcaemia

   Calcipotriene causes a rapid rise in calcium ion levels. [31] Calcium ion levels can remain high for weeks if untreated and lead to an array of medical issues. [31] There are also cases of hypercalcemia reported due to dogs ingesting rodenticides containing a chemical similar to calcipotriene found in psoriasis cream. [31]

3. Coronary CT calcium scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_CT_calcium_scan

   A coronary CT calcium scan is a computed tomography (CT) scan of the heart for the assessment of severity of coronary artery disease. Specifically, it looks for calcium deposits in atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries that can narrow arteries and increase the risk of heart attack. [1] These plaques are the cause of most heart ...

4. Metastatic calcification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastatic_calcification

   Metastatic calcification is deposition of calcium salts in otherwise normal tissue, because of elevated serum levels of calcium, [1] which can occur because of deranged metabolism as well as increased absorption or decreased excretion of calcium and related minerals, as seen in hyperparathyroidism.

   Because vitamin D helps regulate calcium levels in your body, hypercalcemia is a direct result of vitamin D toxicity, says Jamie Alan, Pharm.D., an associate professor in the Department of ...

6. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

   Though calcium is the most plentiful electrolyte in the body, a large percentage of it is used to form the bones. [14] It is mainly absorbed and excreted through the GI system. [14] The majority of calcium resides extracellularly, and it is crucial for the function of neurons, muscle cells, function of enzymes, and coagulation. [14]

9. Disorders of calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

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

   In a healthy physiology, extracellular calcium levels are maintained within a tight range through the actions of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D and the calcium sensing receptor. [1] Disorders in calcium metabolism can lead to hypocalcemia, decreased plasma levels of calcium or hypercalcemia, elevated plasma calcium levels.
