- Abstract
The article discusses the case of a 30-year-old male bodybuilder who has been using anabolic-androgenic steroids and a veterinary polyvitamin formulation for several years. The patient was reportedly admitted to the emergency room due to acute epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. The results of the patient's laboratory examinations are explored which led to the diagnosis of chronic hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis.
