Hypercalcemia and pancreatitis in a child with adynamic bone disease

Pediatr Nephrol. 1997 Apr;11(2):223-5. doi: 10.1007/s004670050268.

Abstract

We report a 12-year-old boy receiving long-term peritoneal dialysis who developed marked hypercalcemia and pancreatitis. Hypercalcemia was successfully treated by conducting dialysis with non-calcium-containing dialysate fluid. Factors predisposing to the development of hypercalcemia included the presence of adynamic bone disease and the use of vitamin D and calcium carbonate therapy. This case is presented to emphasize potential complications that can be associated with the adynamic bone lesion in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
