A guide on how to approach neonatal hypercalcemia

Abstract

Neonatal hypercalcemia although often mild and benign has the potential to be a serious condition. There are a wide variety of causes which differ from those seen in children and adults. We present a brief overview of its presentation, common and serious ‘not to be missed’ causes and management. Our aim is to provide a guide of how to approach neonatal hypercalcemia for the paediatrician or other healthcare professional caring for newborn infants.
