Overview

The clinical features of hypocalcemia may vary widely, and range from asymptomatic to life-threatening complications.The main factors that influence serum calcium levels are parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, ionized calcium, and phosphate. Hypocalcemia is commonly encountered in patients who are hospitalized. Under treatment or improper treatment of hypocalcemic emergencies can lead to significant morbidity. Death is rare but has been reported in hypocalcemia patients.
