Overview
Hypocalcaemia (hypocalcemia), is having a low calcium concentrations in the blood.The normal range of serum calcium lies between 8.8–10.7 mg/dl, 4.3–5.2 mEq/l.In the past 20 years quantification of serum and ionized calcium and PTH concentrations, helps in easier diagnosis.It is difficult to quantify the incidence of ionized hypocalcemia.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of hypocalcemia is inversely proportional to gestational age and birth weight.[1][2]
- The percentage of infants who develop hypocalcemia is between 30% to 90%.
- The incidence of hypocalcemia in postsurgical patients is between 80 to 90%.
- The incidence of hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy was 27%.[3][4][5][6]
Mortality rate
- The mortality rate of hypocalcemia is approximately 44% in acutely ill patients in a medical intensive care setting.[7][8]
- Hypocalcemia has been reported in critically ill patients, most commonly in association with sepsis syndrome.[9]
