Overview
Clinical presentation of hypocalcemia reflects the serum level of ionized calcium and depends on the severity of any concurrent electrolyte imbalance.[1][2]
Common manifestations of acute hypocalcemia include fatigue, muscle weakness, paresthesia, tetany, and neuropsychiatric disturbances.
