Sujata Khatal, Priya Nair, U. B. Shetkar

Abstract :

We report the case of a young female patient with acute on chronic pancreatitis with hypercalcemia as first manifestation of secondary   hyperparathyroidism caused by chronic renal failure due to medullary sponge dysplastic kidneys. The patient was managed conservatively. Although the association of hypercalcemia and acute pancreatitis is known in medical entity , it is very uncommon. The pathophysiology of hypercalcemia induced acute pancreatitis is therefore not well known. Although some mechanisms have been proposed, it  is important to treat the provoking factor. Acute pancreatitis results in a tendency to hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism(24,25).
