Article Synopsis
- Hypercalcemia in HIV patients can arise from different mechanisms, especially due to elevated levels of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D) often linked to diseases like Mycobacterium avium intracellulare (MAI).
- A case of late-onset hypercalcemia was reported in an HIV/AIDS patient with MAI, which was correlated with the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), despite normal levels of vitamin D metabolites.
- The situation highlights the need to consider IRIS when diagnosing late-presenting hypercalcemia in HIV patients, as timely steroid treatment can be effective in managing the condition.
In this study, we found no significant acid-base changes after six weeks of ketogenic diet in patients with obesity with Chronic kidney disease) 2 or 3. A ketogenic diet was well tolerated overall with no gross changes to serum creatinine, anion gap, serum, or venous bicarbonate, or albumin. We were limited by a small sample size, and we did not confirm whether patients achieved a biochemical ketogenic state.
