<prompt> All are TRUE about the management of Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy HHM, EXCEPT:Oral phosphorus initiallySaline rehydration is usedBisphosphonates are very effectiveSteroids are not useful  <response>: The management of HHM: Removal of excess calcium in the diet, medications, or IV solutions. Oral phosphorus e.g., 250 mg Neutra-Phos 3-4 times daily Saline rehydration - dilute serum calcium and promote calciuresis. Forced diuresis with furosemide or other loop diuretics can enhance calcium excretion. Bisphosphonates such as pamidronate 60-90 mg IV, zoledronate 4-8 mg IV, and etidronate reduce serum calcium. Dialysis in severe hypercalcemia. Calcitonin and mithramycin have little utility now. Calcitonin -when rapid correction of severe hypercalcemia is needed. Hypercalcemia associated with lymphomas, multiple myeloma, or leukemia respond to glucocoicoid treatment. Ref: Harrison, E-18, P-829
