One case of symptomatic
hypercalcaemia was caused by four times the prescribed calcium infusion rate (Singer et al., 2016).

[1] They can also be observed in conditions such as benign early repolarisation or
hypercalcaemia, in patients with a pericardial effusion of acute onset, and in patients with other intracranial pathology not limited to injury, such as a subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Hypercalcaemia. Endocr Dev 2015;28:101-118.
Metabolic conditions (hypokalemia, hyperkalaemia, hyponatraemia, and
hypercalcaemia), medicines with a sodium channel-blocking effect such as class 1 antiarrhythmic drugs, anaesthetics (especially propofol), tricyclic antidepressants, severe fever, or cocaine can cause Brugada phenocopy (1,3-7).
Hypothyroid subjects may develop
hypercalcaemia due to intolerance to oral calcium.
Treatment of HA with bisphosphonates is also an interesting strategy that can be used in treatment of different bone diseases such as metastatic and Paget's disease, osteoporosis and
hypercalcaemia induced by tumor [8].

For the fetus, maternal
hypercalcaemia will increase the calcium levels in fetal serum and inhibit the fetal parathyroid axis, which may lead to intrauterine growth retardation, preterm delivery, intrauterine fetal demise, or postpartum neonatal tetany if the mother remains untreated [5, 6].
To further explore our practice pattern regarding treatment of
hypercalcaemia, available data revealed that only 5 patients in the highest category of calcium had undergone a parathyroidectomy while the majority of them were dialyzed with 1.25 mmol/L of dialysate calcium concentration and had their calcium carbonate and alfacal-cidol discontinued.

In biochemistry test, urea (37 mg/dL) and creatinine (1 mg/dL) were normal and
hypercalcaemia was not found so renal insufficiency was ruled out.
She had normochromic, normocytic anaemia (Hb: 9.4 g/l), thrombocytopenia (105 x [10.sup.9]/l) with prominent rouleaux on peripheral blood film, and moderate renal impairment without
hypercalcaemia, with a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
