Two cases of rhabdomyolysis with renal failure followed by hypercalcaemia are reported. Both had major hyperphosphataemia and hypocalcaemia, requiring haemodialysis. Hypercalcaemia developed during the diuretic phase, when renal function was still abnormal, and before phosphate blood levels had returned to normal. Soft tissue calcifications occurred in one of the patients. The pathogenesis and treatment of this condition are discussed. Increased levels of serum calcitriol may play an important role in the genesis of hypercalcaemia, which may last for several months. Giving calcium salts and or vitamin D to these patients during the hypocalcaemic phase is dangerous, and should be avoided. The usual treatment for hypercalcaemia my remain ineffective. Mithramycin can lower the serum calcium concentration but the new diphosphonates (sodium etidronate) are very effective in the treatment of this hypercalcaemia. However, in serious or urgent cases, hypocalcaemic haemodialysis may be required, with the simultaneous administration of calcitonin and diphosphonates.
