How Does the Clinician Lay Out Hyperalbuminemia and Associated Hypercalcemia? Case Report and Review

Abstract

Introduction: Hyperalbuminemia and associated hypercalcemia is an extremely rare clinical condition. Although it is most commonly encountered as a laboratory error, in the literature, it has been reported to be due to dehydration, depending on relative hyperproteinemia with unchanged albumin/globulin ratio.Case Report: In this manuscript, we reported a 20-year-old male who was admitted to the emergency department with the complaints of progressive fatigue and nausea for 1 week due to hyperalbuminemia and hypercalcemia and reviewed the literature. Conclusion:In the patients who are admitted to emergency departments with nonspecific complaints, like fatigue and nausea, if the cause of the complaints cannot be shown, hyperalbuminemia and hypercalcemia should be investigated.
