ETAYO, Edwin Harvey e RESTREPO, César A. Acute tubular necrosis due to hypercalcemia secondary to vitamin D toxicity. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2010, vol.35, n.2, pp.100-103. ISSN 0120-2448.
Disorders of calcium metabolism are common clinical situations. Hypercalcemia, whose main causes are hyperparathyroidism and malignancy, can lead to alterations in renal function. We report the case of a female patient who received high doses of vitamin D, and afterwards thyroid hormone and thiazide diuretics. These factors caused her to develop hypercalcemia and renal failure. Acute tubular necrosis was detected by renal biopsy (Acta Med Colomb 2010; 35: 100-103).
Palavras-chave : hypercalcemia; vitamin D toxicity; acute renal failure; acute tubular necrosis.
