Steroid responsive idiopathic calcitriol induced hypercalcemia: a case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Idiopathic Calcitriol Induced Hypercalcemia is a rare cause of a common condition of hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia is most commonly the result of hyperparathyroidism and together with hypercalcemia of malignancy accounts for over 95% of cases.
