Hypercalciëmieklachten

Hypercalciëmieklachten refers to the symptoms experienced when calcium levels in the blood are abnormally high. This condition, known as hypercalcemia, can manifest in a variety of ways depending on the severity and underlying cause. Common complaints include increased thirst and frequent urination due to the kidneys' effort to excrete excess calcium. Gastrointestinal issues are also frequently reported, such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain. Neurological symptoms can range from fatigue and weakness to confusion, lethargy, and in severe cases, coma. Muscle weakness and bone pain may also be present. Individuals might also experience kidney stones, as excess calcium can precipitate in the urinary tract. The exact presentation of hypercalciëmieklachten can vary significantly among individuals, and some may even be asymptomatic. Diagnosis requires blood tests to confirm elevated calcium levels.
