Hypocalcemia, characterized by abnormally low calcium levels in the blood, can significantly impact a patient’s health and well-being. Calcium metabolism disorders are frequently encountered. Though hypocalcemia is not encountered as frequently as hypercalcemia, it can be life-threatening if not appropriately recognized and promptly treated. The cause of hypocalcemia varies greatly and is highly dependent on the interaction among parathyroid hormone, phosphorus metabolism, vitamin D, and bone metabolism.This course is designed for healthcare professionals, including physicians, advanced practice practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, and allied healthcare providers, who seek to enhance their knowledge and skills when managing hypocalcemia. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of hypocalcemia to equip professionals with the skills necessary to treat patients with this condition, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of care.
