Progressive hypercalcemia during continuous arterio-venous ultrafiltration (SCUF)
Intensive Care Med.
1992.
Abstract
A case report is described of a patient who developed severe hypercalcemia during slow continuous arterio-venous ultrafiltration (SCUF). Which was instituted because of refractory congestive heart failure with pulmonary edema. The hypercalcemia was due to a preexisting mild hyperparathyroidism and aggressive fluid removal by SCUF. The differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia in the intensive care ward is discussed.
