What is your calcium level threshold for initiating targeted calcium lowering therapies for patients with an acute kidney injury believed secondary to renal vasoconstriction and volume depletion?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
Treatment of hypercalcemia should be based on the severity of the symptoms rather than any arbitrary calcium level threshold. Therefore, if the AKI is due to hypercalcemia-induced renal vasoconstriction and volume depletion, then the hypercalcemia should be treated.
