Hypercalcemia represents an independent risk factor of acute pancreatitis and can result from hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. Here, we report on a 35-year-old patient who was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain six weeks after kidney transplantation. Based on laboratory tests and ultrasound imaging, acute pancreatitis with hypercalcemia due to tertiary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed. Subsequently, the patient was treated by parathyroidectomy with autologous tissue transplantation. This constellation points to acute pancreatitis as a very rare and severe complication of patients developing tertiary hyperparathyroidism-related hypercalcemia from secondary hyperparathyroidism after kidney transplantation.

D006962 Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary Abnormally elevated PARATHYROID HORMONE secretion as a response to HYPOCALCEMIA. It is caused by chronic KIDNEY FAILURE or other abnormalities in the controls of bone and mineral metabolism, leading to various BONE DISEASES, such as RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHY.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

D005922 Glomerulonephritis, IGA A chronic form of glomerulonephritis characterized by deposits of predominantly IMMUNOGLOBULIN A in the mesangial area (GLOMERULAR MESANGIUM).
