title: Renal function in hypercalcemia after renal transplantation.
abstract: A case of transient hypercalcemia in a 53-year-old female, who received a necro-kidney transplant, has been examined. The hypercalcemia was caused by vitamin D intoxication on three separate occasions. Each period of even moderate hypercalcemia produced a rapid fall in renal function. The effect was reversible. These findings are discussed in the light of earlier reports on stable renal function in post-transplant hypercalcemia.
