Lithium-induced Hyperparathyroidism and Hypercalcemia

Lithium is one of the mainstays of treatment for bipolar disorder. Chronic lithium therapy can rarely lead to hypercalcemia secondary to lithium-induced hyperparathyroidism. We present a 66-year-old female patient with bipolar disorder on lithium therapy presenting with hypercalcemia. We discussed t...

description Lithium is one of the mainstays of treatment for bipolar disorder. Chronic lithium therapy can rarely lead to hypercalcemia secondary to lithium-induced hyperparathyroidism. We present a 66-year-old female patient with bipolar disorder on lithium therapy presenting with hypercalcemia. We discussed the pathophysiology and management of hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia in patients on chronic lithium therapy.
