IHC is characterised by mild to moderate hypercalcaemia, normophosphataemia, and an appropriate parathyroid response (i.e., ↓PTH). Clinical signs vary with the degree of hypercalcaemia but around 50% of cats are asymptomatic. The diagnosis is made by excluding other causes.

3 Μαΐ 2016 · Cats with an increased calcium x phosphate product (>5.6 mmol2/l2) are at risk of soft tissue mineralisation and require treatment. Patients with only mild or moderately increased calcium concentration that are asymptomatic may not require immediate therapy. Severe hypercalcaemia requires emergency treatment.
24 Μαρ 2015 · Cats with IHC are often initially asymptomatic and the condition is generally slowly progressive. First line treatments often include a nonacidifying, high fiber diet and prednisolone. These treatments, however, are not always successful, and response to them may be transient.
Goals of acute treatment of hypercalcemia include relieving symptoms, allowing diagnostic evaluation, and preventing death. It is very important to treat the underlying condition. Intravenous fluid treatment using normal saline will promote calciuresis.
Causes and Treatment of Hypercalcemia (Increased Blood Calcium Levels) in Cats. Cause. Mechanism. Treatment. Primary hyperparathyroidism (relatively rare in cats) Parathyroid glands are overactive (often due to a tumor) and secrete excessive parathyroid hormone. Removal or destruction of tumor.
