1.Acute hypocalcemia
Calcium Gluconate 10gr 20-30 ml 1x
(Per 10 ml90 mg kalsium)

Therapeutic Approach
1. Acute hypercalcemia
- Begin with volume Expansion
Saline and Furosemide :
- initial priming saline infusion of 1 to
2 liters over 1 hour should be given.
Diuretics are then begun as follows :
a. Begin with a priming dose of 1 to 2
liters saline IV over 1 hour
b. Give furosemide 40 to 80 mg IV
and repeat every 2 to 3 hours
Lanjutan
c. Measure urine volume every hour
and urine sodium-potassium
concentration every 4 to 6 hours
d. Replace urine volume with saline
and added potassium chloride
e. If hypercalcemia is prolonged, add
magnesium (15 mg per hour)
Lanjutan
2. Chronic hypercalcemia
a. Steroides
1. Sarcoidosis
2. Multiple myeloma
3. Breast cancer (50%)
4. Vitamin D intoxication
b. Oral phosphate
1. Hyperparathyroidism (nonsurgical
candidates)
2. Most malignancies
c. Mithramycin : If oral phosphate is ineffective
or
serum phosphate is elevated
3. Tx Underlying Desease
