Hypercalcaemic crisis is a rare endocrine emergency. Often, an acute renal failure develops due to hypercalcaemia-induced polyuria. The molecular causes comprise stimulation of the calcium-sensing receptor in the ascending Henle loop and a reduced aquaporin expression in the collecting ducts. We report on a 54-year-old woman who was admitted for hypercalcaemic crisis and acute renal failure. Immediate rehydratation, bisphosphonate administration, and slow-extended daily dialysis (SLEDD) were initiated leading to a marked reduction of serum calcium. Endocrine work-up revealed primary hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma, which was treated by emergency surgery. Haemodialysis was continued in the first post-operative weeks for prolonged acute renal failure.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
