We present a case of a 40-year-old woman with a history of ongoing anorexia
nervosa and bulimia nervosa who has required multiple admissions to hospital for
management of acute kidney injury (AKI) and electrolyte derangement. This case is
of interest as recent studies have highlighted the significant prevalence of
disordered eating and the major public health implications this may have. We
discuss the unusual finding of hypercalcaemia in this case and address the
investigation and management of AKI and electrolyte disturbance in a patient with
anorexia and bulimia.
