RESUMO
Hypercalcemia most often results from primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy. Adynamic bone disease (ABD) is a form of renal osteodystrophy characterized by reduced bone turnover, which can limit the ability of bone to release or store calcium, potentially leading to low, normal, or high serum calcium levels. We describe a 51-year-old dialysis-dependent female with hypercalcemia after parathyroidectomy. A demeclocycline-labeled bone biopsy confirmed adynamic bone disease. Teriparatide, a recombinant form of parathyroid hormone (PTH) used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, was prescribed for 12 months and normalized serum calcium levels. Although previous case reports and series have described favorable changes in spine bone mineral density when teriparatide was prescribed for ABD, ours is the first documented case in which teriparatide resolved hypercalcemia due to ABD. © 2019 The Authors.
