The KTR was a 49 year-old lady who had undergone successful total parathyroidectomy without re-implantation 14 years prior and cadaveric kidney transplantation 12 years prior. She had a stable creatinine level of 220μmol/L and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 mL/min^-1.73m². She presented to us with severe hypercalcemia, likely a result of excessive calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and acute kidney injury. Serum creatinine, calcium, phosphate, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels on admission were 743μmol/L, 4.8 mmol/L, 1.8 mmol/L, 0.75 mmol/L, 48IU/L and &lt;0.1 pmol/L, respectively. Vigorous intravenous fluids were given in addition to withdrawal of calcium carbonate and calcitriol. Clinical improvement was evident with falling serum creatinine and calcium levels. However, this was followed 2–3 days after admission by an unexplained rise in ALP from a baseline of 48IU/L to a peak level of 1150IU/L over the next week, accompanied by the development of severe hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia and a persistent drop in phosphate levels.
