ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We present a case of a 58-year-old man with a history of laryngo-pharyngectomy including bilateral thyroidectomy due to hypopharyngeal cancer presenting with lethargy, acute kidney failure, and hypercalcemia. Milk alkali syndrome was diagnosed given the history of high-dose calcium / vitamin D supplementation after ruling out other causes of hypercalcemia. After initial treatment with normal saline, furosemide and denosumab, the patient developed severe symptomatic hypocalcemia as a rare adverse effect of denosumab.Palabras clave
