Aim: Hypercalcemia (HCM) is a common clinical problem characterized by serum corrected calcium (cCa) level of >10.7 mg/dL.Primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy are mostly (90%) involved in the etiology.In this study, we aimed to determine relationship cCa phosphorus (P) levels, cCa/P ratio gender with etiology HCM one-week mortality.Methods: Records patients older than 18 years age who were hospitalized between January 1, 2017 December 31, 2018 retrospectively reviewed.Age, gender, P survival status recorded.Subsequently, divided into two groups according whether was benign or malignant.Then, compared statistically terms biochemical values survival. Results:The median found be significantly higher males (p<0.00).The frequency malignancy-associated females.When compared, levels group (p<0.000 p=0.005, respectively).The mortality rate all 18.99%.However, surprisingly, oneweek lower other group. Conclusion:Our study results show that at time admission, may help early evaluation and/or prognosis HCM.
