Patients treated with maintenance hemodialysis often undergo parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a differential diagnosis in refractory hypocalcemia patients who have undergone parathyroidectomy. Their laboratory test results often reveal hypophosphatemia and normal parathyroid hormone levels. Moreover, hypocalcemia-induced hypotension is a rare clinical diagnosis. Herein we report a 70-year-old woman who experienced dizziness for the duration of a day. Her medical history included diabetes mellitus with end-stage renal disease, maintenance hemodialysis, and hyperparathyroidism, which occurred after a total parathyroidectomy that was performed one year ago. Before parathyroidectomy, her laboratory data revealed elevated serum calcium levels (10.6 mg/dL), normal phosphorus levels (4.9 mg/dL), and aggressive hyperparathyroidism (2134.7 pg/mL). One week after the surgery, prolonged hypocalcemia (7.1 mg/dL) and mild hypoparathyroidism (13.7 pg/mL) were noted. At the time of admission, her vital signs showed hypotension, and laboratory data revealed hypocalcemia (7.1 mg/dL). We increased the dosage strength of the calcium supplements, and the hypotension status improved dramatically. In conclusion, HBS is relatively uncommon, but it should be considered in patients with refractory hypocalcemia who have undergone a parathyroidectomy. Additionally, hypocalcemia-induced hypotension should be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory intradialytic hypotension. |
