Hypercalcemia and pancreatitis in a child with adynamic bone disease.
We report a 12-year-old boy receiving long-term peritoneal dialysis who developed marked hypercalcemia and pancreatitis. Hypercalcemia was successfully treated by conducting dialysis with non-calcium-containing dialysate fluid. Factors predisposing to the development of hypercalcemia included the presence of adynamic bone disease and the use of vitamin D and calcium carbonate therapy. This case is presented to emphasize potential complications that can be associated with the adynamic bone lesion in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
