An uncommon cause of severe hypercalcemia: Vitamin D supplementation in Sarcoidosis.
A 37 year old male presented to the hospital with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting of 2 days duration. Two months ago, he had a similar presentation and an elevated serum calcium level of 10.9 mg/dl. His hypercalcemia symptoms resolved after medical management, and he left the hospital against medical advice, refusing further workup for hypercalcemia. He went to a homeopathy provider and his blood work showed a low vitamin D level of 8 ng/ml. He was prescribed 50,000 units of weekly vitamin D 25 (OH) therapy for four weeks duration.
