However, no resistant
hypocalcemic patients were reported in these studies.
The serum biochemical changes in sub-clinical
hypocalcemic cows are presented in Table 1.
He was incidentally found to be severely
hypocalcemic to 2.7 mg/dl with EKG showing a prolonged QTC interval to 525 ms.
published a case of
hypocalcemic tetany resulting in bilateral QTR and unilateral TTR, but this is considered a spontaneous and not a traumatic tendon rupture [7].
Delivery may lead to a precipitous increase in maternal serum calcium levels, as calcium that was previously shunted to the fetus now remains in maternal circulation [1, 3] Additionally, in the absence of maternal calcium, the neonate may experience a significant
hypocalcemic crisis as neonatal PTH levels are suppressed and the previously maternally supplied calcium is abruptly removed [3-5].

Supply with calcium and/or vitamin D was decided by the
hypocalcemic symptom or biochemical hypocalcemia.
Thyroid
hypocalcemic principle and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury as factors affecting the response to parathyroidectomy in rats.
The QTC interval was prolonged in two of four children who developed hypokalemia and in only one of three children who were
hypocalcemic. There was no significant correlation between QTc prolongation and electrolyte changes.
Early diagnosis of hypercalcemia by hydration and treatment with agents - to decrease serum calcium concentrations - also known as
hypocalcemic drugs can produce symptomatic improvements within three to five days.
