Hypercalcemia is a rare condition in patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS-1), usually characterized by hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia, and it can develop due to simultaneous adrenal insufficiency. We present a case of severe hypercalcemia in a patient with APS-1, found to have adrenal insufficiency secondary to steroid non-compliance.

Calcium to magnesium ratio as a superior biomarker for nephrolithiasis detection in primary hyperparathyroidism.
Sci Rep

Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is marked by mineral imbalances, often leading to nephrolithiasis and osteoporosis. While imaging remains the cornerstone for stone detection, there is growing interest in biochemical markers that could enhance diagnostic accuracy. This study investigates the calcium-to-magnesium (Ca/Mg) ratio as a novel biomarker for nephrolithiasis, comparing its utility to traditional 24-h urinary calcium excretion and exploring its broader clinical implications.

However, PHPT may induce various psychiatric symptoms, including depression, cognitive dysfunction, and infrequently, psychotic symptoms, predominantly in older adults rather than in middle-aged or younger individuals.
Case‐presentation: A 48-year-old man, with no history of physical or mental illness, experienced delusions about a suspicious car in his neighborhood, believing it was linked to criminal activity.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology, characterized by noncaseating epithelioid granuloma, multinucleate giant cells, and tissue destruction. While lung and lymph node involvement is common, isolated renal involvement is rare. We report the case of a 55-year-old female patient, with renal limited sarcoidosis, who presented with worsening sensorium and acute kidney injury.

Introduction: Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), enhancing survival and quality of life. However, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at high risk for bone disorders, particularly low bone turnover disease, which increases fracture risk. Teriparatide, an anabolic agent, may provide a beneficial treatment option for these patients.

The prevalence of diseases accompanied by calcium metabolism disorders varies from low to moderate. For example, primary hyperparathyroidism, as one of the most common causes of pathological changes in calcium metabolism due to parathyroid hormone hypersecretion, occurs with a frequency of 85 to 233 cases per 100 thousand people.
