Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy, adverse effects and relevance of calcium-free hemodialysis (CFHD) in the treatment of major hypercalcemia. DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. SETTING: Medical ICU. PATIENTS: All patients admitted over a 9-year period for hypercalcemia requiring urgent treatment and who underwent hemodialysis. INTERVENTIONS: CFHD with an acetate dialysate. MAIN RESULTS: Thirty-three patients with severe hypercalcemia from various etiologies received CFHD. Marked and rapid decrease of serum total calcium was obtained during all sessions (mean decrease: 1.71 +/- 0.54 mmol/l). Calcium rebound within 24 h after CFHD was observed in all evaluable cases (1 +/- 0.45 mmol/l; mean delay 13.7 +/- 5.8 h). Adverse cardiovascular effects occurred in 17 of 48 sessions (35%) and in 13 of 30 evaluable patients (43%). CONCLUSIONS: Adverse effects are frequent during CFHD. After correction of hypovolemia, its use should be restricted to patients with severe clinical symptoms or advanced renal impairment.
