Med: Calcitonin
Hyper (tones down the calcium)
decreases the release of skeletal calcium and increases the kidney excretion of calcium, enhanced if given with glucocorticoids
34
Med: Hydration and diuretics (Lasix)
Hyper - promotes excretion of calcium
35
Med: Plicamycin (Mithracin) and gallium nitrate (Ganite)
Hyper - decreases the release of calcium and if used with NS and diuretics - encourages excretion of calcium
36
Tx: resection of parathyroid
