Vitamin D intoxication: a cause of hypocalcaemia and acute renal failure in a HIV patient.
Hypercalcaemia in patients with HIV infection is usually associated with specific conditions such as lymphoma and granulomatous diseases. We described a case of severe hypercalcaemia consequent to vitamin D intoxication and secondary renal failure in a HIV patient under tenofovir using. Serum creatinine and calcium returned to near normal levels after vitamin D discontinuation, saline and furosemide administration. Some aspects of the drug-induced nephropathy are discussed.
