hypercalcemia
Too much calcium
Hypercalcemia is an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood.
The condition can result from overactive parathyroid glands, certain cancers, excessive vitamin D, or prolonged immobility.
Mild cases may cause no symptoms; severe hypercalcemia can lead to kidney stones, bone weakness, confusion, and cardiac problems.
Blood tests revealed hypercalcemia, prompting further investigation.
