Acute and Severe Hypercalcemia Early After Kidney Transplantation in a Patient Previously Treated With Etelcalcetide (original) (raw)

This letter reports a case of acute and severe hypercalcemia occurring early after kidney transplantation in a patient previously treated with etelcalcetide for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Following transplantation, the patient experienced seizures, severe hypercalcemia, and therapeutic challenges, culminating in a subtotal parathyroidectomy. The case highlights the need for close monitoring of calcium levels in patients on etelcalcetide post-transplant and suggests a potential link between the medication and post-transplant hypercalcemia.
