Treat Hypocalcemia & Osteoporosis with Homeopathy

Definition

Hypocalcemia is a lower level of calcium in the blood than is normal. Calcium is a mineral that is needed for bone health, muscle movement, and healthy nerves.

Causes

An illness or treatment can change how the body absorbs, balances, or keeps calcium. This can lead to hypocalcemia. Calcium levels in the body are affected by a number of things such as:

Vitamin D levels—needed to help absorb calcium from food or supplements
Kidney function—controls how much calcium is removed from the body
Hormones, especially those controlled by parathyroid gland—can affect levels of calcium in the blood

poor calcium intake over a long period of time, especially in childhood

medications that may decrease calcium absorption
dietary intolerance to foods rich in calcium
hormonal changes, especially in women
certain genetic factors

It’s important to ensure proper calcium intake at all ages.

For children and teenagers, the recommended daily allowances for calcium are the same for both sexes. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the daily allowances are:

Age group	Daily recommended dietary allowance (RDA)
Children, 9-18 years	1,300 mg
Children, 4-8 years	1,000 mg
Children, 1-3 years	700 mg
Children, 7-12 months	260 mg
Children, 0-6 months	200 mg

During menopause, women should also increase their calcium intake to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and calcium deficiency disease. The decline in the hormone estrogen during menopause causes a woman’s bones to thin faster.

The hormone disorder hypoparathyroidism may also cause calcium deficiency disease. People with this condition don’t produce enough parathyroid hormone, which controls calcium levels in the blood.

Other causes of hypocalcemia include malnutrition and malabsorption.

Additional causes include:

medications, such phenytoin, phenobarbital, rifampin, corticosteroids, and drugs used to treat elevated calcium levels
pancreatitis
hypermagnesemiaand hypomagnesemia
hyperphosphatemia
septic shock
massive blood transfusions
renal failure
certain chemotherapy drugs
“Hungry bone syndrome,” which may occur after surgery for hyperparathyroidism
removal of parathyroid gland tissue as part of surgery to remove the thyroid gland.
Autoimmune diseases.
Genetic disorders.
IBS

Symptoms

Early hypocalcemia may not have any symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

Fatigue
Muscle spasms
Tingling and numbness
Irregular heartbeat
Skin changes such as dry, scaly skin
Coarse hair that easily breaks
Difficulty breathing in newborns
confusion or memory loss
depression
hallucinations
weak and brittle nails
easy fracturing of the bones

Complications-

Calcium deficiency disease include eye damage, an abnormal heartbeat, and osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis include:

disability
spinal fractures or other bone fractures
difficulty walking

If left untreated, calcium deficiency disease could eventually be fatal.

Diagnosis

A physical exam will be done. Blood tests will show the level of calcium.

Other tests that may be done to look for causes or complications include:

Urine tests
X-rays
ECG to test the electrical activity of the heart
