Clinical Information

• Hypocalcemia

  reduction of the blood calcium below normal. manifestations include hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, chvostek's sign, muscle and abdominal cramps, and carpopedal spasm. (dorland, 27th ed)

• Tetany

  a disorder characterized by muscle twitches, cramps, and carpopedal spasm, and when severe, laryngospasm and seizures. this condition is associated with unstable depolarization of axonal membranes, primarily in the peripheral nervous system. tetany usually results from hypocalcemia or reduced serum levels of magnesium that may be associated with hyperventilation; hypoparathyroidism; rickets; uremia; or other conditions. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p1490)

• Familial Hypercalciuric Hypocalcemia

  a hereditary condition caused by calcium sensing receptor gene mutations, resulting in calcium-hypersensitivity, and compensatory hypocalcemia and hypercalciuria.

• Grade 1 Hypocalcemia, CTCAE|Grade 1 Hypocalcemia

  corrected serum calcium of

• Grade 2 Hypocalcemia, CTCAE|Grade 2 Hypocalcemia

  corrected serum calcium of <8.0-7.0 mg/dl; <2.0-1.75 mmol/l; ionized calcium <1.0-0.9 mmol/l; symptomatic

• Grade 3 Hypocalcemia, CTCAE|Grade 3 Hypocalcemia

  corrected serum calcium of <7.0-6.0 mg/dl; <1.75-1.5 mmol/l; ionized calcium <0.9-0.8 mmol/l; hospitalization indicated

• Grade 4 Hypocalcemia, CTCAE|Grade 4 Hypocalcemia

  corrected serum calcium of <6.0 mg/dl; <1.5 mmol/l; ionized calcium <0.8 mmol/l; life-threatening consequences

• Grade 5 Hypocalcemia, CTCAE|Grade 5 Hypocalcemia

  death

• Hypocalcemia

  lower than normal levels of calcium in the circulating blood.

• Hypocalcemia, CTCAE|Hypocalcemia|Hypocalcemia

  a disorder characterized by laboratory test results that indicate a low concentration of calcium (corrected for albumin) in the blood.

• TRPM6 wt Allele|CHAK2|FLJ22628|HMGX|HOMG|HOMG1|HSH|Hypomagnesemia, Secondary Hypocalcemia Gene|Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily M Member 6 wt Allele|Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel, Subfamily M, Member 6 Gene

  human trpm6 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9q21.13 and is approximately 166 kb in length. this allele, which encodes transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily m member 6 protein, is involved in both magnesium homeostasis and protein phosphorylation. mutation of the gene is associated with hypomagnesemia.

• Tetany

  sudden and involuntary contraction of a muscle of group of muscles due to hypocalcemia.

E83.51 is grouped with Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together diagnosis codes for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on their principal diagnosis in areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). Once a patient is assigned a particular diagnostic category, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care for that patient. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The diagnosis code is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V41.0 applicable from 10/01/2023 through 09/30/2024.

MS-DRG	MS-DRG Title	MCD	Relative Weight
640	MISCELLANEOUS DISORDERS OF NUTRITION, METABOLISM, FLUIDS AND ELECTROLYTES WITH MCC	10	1.3152
641	MISCELLANEOUS DISORDERS OF NUTRITION, METABOLISM, FLUIDS AND ELECTROLYTES WITHOUT MCC	10	0.7814

The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Patient Education

Calcium

You have more calcium in your body than any other mineral. Calcium has many important jobs. The body stores more than 99% of its calcium in the bones and teeth to help make and keep them strong. The rest is throughout the body in blood, muscle and the fluid between cells. Your body needs calcium to help muscles and blood vessels contract and expand, to secrete hormones and enzymes and to send messages through the nervous system.

It is important to get plenty of calcium in the foods you eat. Foods rich in calcium include:

• Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt
• Leafy, green vegetables
• Fish with soft bones that you eat, such as canned sardines and salmon
• Calcium-enriched foods such as breakfast cereals, fruit juices, soy and rice drinks, and tofu. Check the product labels.

The exact amount of calcium you need depends on your age and other factors. Growing children and teenagers need more calcium than young adults. Older women need plenty of calcium to prevent osteoporosis. People who do not eat enough high-calcium foods should take a calcium supplement.
