Yоu аre аsked tо evаluate a 72-year-оld female patient who complains of recent onset of polyuria, constipation, and nausea. Physical examination is essentially unremarkable, and laboratory studies are ordered including a complete metabolic profile and routine urinalysis. Results of tests are as follows: Urinalysis: negative for nitrite, glucose, leukocytes, blood, ketones, and bilirubin, leukocyte esterase, protein, and urobilinogen. Metabolic profile: (abnormal results in bold type): Serum Ca+2 13.2 (8.2-10.2 mg/dL) Serum PO4−3 1.8 (2.5-4.5 mg/dL) Serum albumin 4.0 (3.5-5.0 g/dL) The patient has normal renal function, and no other abnormalities are noted on results of complete metabolic profile.
