Hypercalcemia Following Adrenalectomy for Cushing Syndrome in a Patient with Post-Surgical Hypoparathyroidism by Pietro Locantore, Alessandro Oliva, Gianluca Cera, Rosa Maria Paragliola, Roberto Novizio, Caterina Policola, Andrea Corsello, Alfredo Pontecorvi

“…On each occasion, parathyroid hormone levels were confirmed to be undetectable, with low vitamin D levels. Common and rare causes of hypercalcemia were excluded, and the persistence of severely elevated calcium levels led to the empirical use of intravenous clodronate, achieving remission of both hypercalcemia and, unexpectedly, hypoparathyroidism. …”
