Overview
Hypocalcaemiaisdefinedasanadjustedcalciumlevel<2.1mmol/L(ionized<0.9mmol/L). Hypocalcaemiaraisestherestingmembranepotentialofneurons,bringingthemcloserto thethresholdpotentialfordepolarizationwhichmayleadtospasm,tetany,orseizuresand canbelife-threatening.Thecommonestcauseofhypocalcaemiaisatotalthyroidectomy whichincludesremovaloftheparathyroidglands.
Mildhypocalcaemia:asymptomaticANDadjustedcalcium1.9–2.1mmol/L Severehypocalcaemia:symptomaticORadjustedcalcium<1.9mmol/L.
‘Adjusted’ or ‘corrected’ calcium has been modified to take into account albumin levels (albumin is one ofthe primarycalcium binding proteins). Only unbound ionized calcium is physiologicallyactiveandthereforeitisimportanttousetheadjustedfigure.Exactreference rangesvarybetweenlaboratories,checklocally.

History
Establish any past medical history which might indicate an underlying cause of hypocalcaemia.
Causes
Usuallyduetothefailure ofPTH secretion(inappropriatelylow PTH)oraninabilityto releasecalciumfrombone(elevatedPTH).
Hypoparathyroidism:
Surgical:
Postthyroidectomy(maybetemporary/permanent)
Postselectiveparathyroidectomy(usuallytransientandmild) Autoimmune Radiation Failureofdevelopmentoftheparathyroidglands Magnesiumdeficiency
Failureofcalciumreleasefrombone:
SeverevitaminDdeficiency(dietary,malabsorption,low ultravioletlightexposure,chronic renalfailure) Cytotoxicmedications(e.g.foscarnet,gadolinium) Renalfailure ResistancetoPTH(magnesiumdeficiency,pseudohypoparathyroidism)
Complexingofcalciumfromcirculation:
Pancreatitis Largetransfusions(transfusedcitrate‘chelates’calcium) Rhabdomyolysis
Multifactorial:
Sepsis Burns.
Symptoms
Symptomsaremoresevereiftherehasbeenanacutedropintheadjustedcalciumlevel.
Perioraland/ordigitalparaesthesia Laryngospasm(temporarilydifficulttospeakorbreatheduetospasmofvocalcords) Generalizedweakness.

Management
Acutemanagement
Mildhypocalcaemia
Oralsupplements(e.g.Calvive®1000,twotabletsBD) Patientmaybedischargedwhencalciumlevel>2.1mmol/L
Ifthecalciumlevelremains1.9–2.1mmol/L,increasethedose(e.g.Calvive®1000,threetablets BD).
Severehypocalcaemia
This is a medical emergency—getsenior clinician help immediately. This patient may requirecriticalcareadmissionforcardiacmonitoring±inotropicsupport.
ExaminewithanABCDEapproach Give100%oxygenifsignificantlyreducedGCSscoreorpatientisseizing StartECGmonitoring IVcalciumgluconatebolus(Box20.2):
10–20mL10%calciumgluconatein50–100mL5%dextrose Giveover10minuteswithcardiacmonitoring Repeatuntilasymptomatic
FollowedbyIVcalciumgluconateinfusion:
100mL10%calciumgluconatein1L0.9%NaCl/5%dextrose Infuseat50–100mL/hour Titrateuntilcalciumlevelshavenormalized.
Box20.2Useofcalciumgluconate
Calciumgluconatecancausetransientbutdramatichypotensionandarrhythmias It can also cause local vasoconstriction or ischaemia—ideally administer via a central line, otherwiseintoalargeveinwithfast-runningIVfluids CalciuminfusionsshouldbeavoidedinsevereCKD(stage3-5)—seekadvicefromnephrology.

VitaminDdeficiency:
300,000unitsofcholecalciferolOR300,000unitsofergocalciferolsplitover6–10weeks
Hypomagnesaemia:
Reviewmedicationsthatmightcausehypomagnesaemia,e.g.omeprazole ReplaceIV,e.g.24mmolover24hours(as6gMgSO4in500mL0.9%NaCl/5%dextrose)
Monitorserummagnesium
Postthyroidectomy:
Recheckcalciumlevelsafter24hours If severe hypocalcaemia or continues to have mild hypocalcaemia after 72 hours—get specialistadvice:willrequiretreatmentwithalfacalcidolorcalcitriol.
Follow-up
If thepatientis startedonalfacalcidol orcalcitriol,recheck serum calcium at1week.Ifstable, recheckat1,3and6months. Thesepatientswilllikelyneedongoingoralcalciumsupplementationand should havespecialist follow-up.

Overview
Hypoglycaemiarefers toaCBGlevel<4.0mmol/L. Prolongedseverehypoglycaemiacan lead to permanentneurological deficitand death. Patients who have had diabetes for a long time, particularlythose with tight glycaemic control, are more likely to have poor hypoglycaemicawareness, increasingtheirrisk ofrecurrenthypoglycaemiaandasevere hypoglycaemicepisode.

Itisvitaltoconsiderhypoglycaemiainanypatientwhopresentswith↓levelofconsciousness, withalteredbehaviourorwhoappearsintoxicated.
Investigations
CBG Consider the likely cause and investigateappropriately depending on the differential diagnosis, e.g. insulin and C-peptide levels (paired with glucose), urinary sulphonylurea levels, septic screen,9amcortisollevel ConsideraCTheadinthosewhohaveprolonged↓GCSscoretoexcludealternativepathology.
Acutemanagement
Initiate treatment without delay and escalate to a senior clinician if treatment fails in order to considerescalationtointensivecare Inallcases,stopanycausalfactor,e.g.IVinsulininfusionorSCinsulinpump

Forthosewithsevererenalimpairment,fruitjuicesshouldbeavoidedduetotheirpotassium concentration

foruseincaseofemergency.
Treatmentafterstabilization
When the CBG is ≥4.0mmol/L, give a long-acting carbohydrate, e.g. one slice of toast or two biscuits Donotomitregularlong-actinginsulin,butthedosemayneedadjustment MonitorCBGregularlyfor24–48hourstoestablishatrendandconsiderregimenalteration Ifnilbymouth,starta10%glucoseinfusion,atarateof100mL/houruntileatingnormallyagain Considerdiabeticspecialistreview Askaboutfrequency,severity,andawarenessofhypoglycaemia.
Concurrent use of the following medications with antidiabetic agents can precipitate hypoglycaemic episodes: warfarin, quinine, salicylates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, sulphonamidesincludingco-trimoxazole,andNSAIDS.
If the hypoglycaemic episode was due to long-acting insulin or sulphonylurea therapy,
