Abstract
Summary: A case of hypercalcaemia due to iatrogenic vitamin D intoxication is reported. Following treatment with prednisolone and sodium cellulose phosphate early symptomatic improvement occurred. The 24‐hours urinary calcium excretion returned to normal after 5 weeks of treatment but the patient became normocalcaemic only after 13 months. Renal function also improved marginally over this period.Wae wish to thank the staff of the biochemistry department, Sefton General Hospital for their help.
