Overview
Physical examination of patients with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is usually unremarkable. Very rarely patients may have examination findings due to hypercalcemia.
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with FHH is usually unremarkable.[1]
- Patients may have physical examination findings due to hypercalcemia.[2]
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with FHH usually have a normal appearance.
Vital Signs
- Patients with hypercalcemia may have:
- High blood pressure due to hypercalcemia
HEENT
- Patients with hypercalcemia may have:
- Band keratopathy (calcium precipitation in a horizontal band across the cornea in the palpebral aperture); may lead to vision impairment
Cardiovascular
- Patients with hypercalcemia may have cardiovascular symptoms such as:
- Palpitations due to arrhythmias
- Shortened QT interval
- Chest pain due to fluid overload form renal failure
- Rales and S3 due to fluid overload form renal failure
Abdomen
- Patients with hypercalcemia may have:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Anorexia
- constipation
- Epigastric pain and tenderness due to development of pancreatitis
- Flank pain and tenderness due to nephrolithiasis
Genitourinary
- Patients with severe hypercalcemia may have:
- Alteration in urinary habits
- Volume depletion
- Signs of renal failure
Neuromuscular
- The patient is usually oriented to person, place, and time.
- Patients with severe hypercalcemia may have:
- Anxiety
- Fatigue and weakness
- Lethargy
- Sleep disturbances
- Muscle twitch and cramps
- Signs of depression
- Confusion
- Memory disturbances
- Hypotonia
- Hyporeflexia
Extremities
