Abstract

Multiple myeloma (MM) is known to cause accelerated osteoclastogenic and increased bone resorption through Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand pathway (RANKL). Denosumab, which is a RANKL inhibitor is commonly used in treating hypercalcemia in these patients. Incidence of hypocalcemia is 8-14% after the administration of denosumab in such patient population. We present a case of severe hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia in a patient with multiple myeloma and CKD after treatment with Denosumab.
