Abstract

Disorders of calcium metabolism are common clinical situations. Hypercalcemia, whose main causes are hyperparathyroidism and malignancy, can lead to alterations in renal function. We report the case of a female patient who received high doses of vitamin D, and afterwards thyroid hormone and thiazide diuretics. These factors caused her to develop hypercalcemia and renal failure. Acute tubular necrosis was detected by renal biopsy
