Calcium diseases refer to a variety of health conditions that arise when there are abnormalities in calcium levels in the body. Calcium plays a vital role in bone health, muscle function, nerve signaling, and blood clotting. Both high and low calcium levels can lead to serious health problems.
Causes
The causes of calcium-related diseases typically involve imbalances in the body’s regulation of calcium. These can include:
Hypercalcemia (High Calcium Levels): Often caused by hyperparathyroidism, certain cancers, excessive vitamin D intake, or prolonged use of certain medications.
Hypocalcemia (Low Calcium Levels): Typically caused by vitamin D deficiency, kidney disease, magnesium deficiency, or issues with the parathyroid gland.
Renal (Kidney) Disease: Chronic kidney disease can disrupt calcium and phosphate balance in the body.
Hormonal Imbalances: Disorders in the parathyroid or thyroid glands can affect calcium levels.
Signs and Symptoms
Hypercalcemia (High Calcium)
Nausea and vomiting
Fatigue or weakness
Bone pain
Kidney stones
Frequent urination
Confusion or memory problems
Hypocalcemia (Low Calcium)
Muscle cramps or spasms
Tingling or numbness, especially in the fingers and toes
Weak nails and hair
Irregular heartbeat
Seizures in severe cases
Diagnosis
Blood Tests
Urine Tests
X-Rays or Imaging
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Treatment:
Treatment for calcium diseases depends on whether calcium levels are too high or too low:
Hypercalcemia (High Calcium):
Intravenous fluids and medications to lower calcium levels
Medications like bisphosphonates or calcitonin
Surgery to remove abnormal parathyroid glands in cases of hyperparathyroidism
Hypocalcemia (Low Calcium):
Calcium supplements, either oral or intravenous, depending on severity
Vitamin D supplements to improve calcium absorption
Addressing underlying causes like kidney disease or magnesium deficiency
