What are the causes of hypercalcemia?
Many different conditions can cause hypercalcemia; the most common are hyperparathyroidism and cancer.
What are the risks with hyperparathyroidism?

Risk factors that make you more susceptible to Hyperparathyroidism include being a post menopausal woman, taking lithium, and vitamin D deficiency. Side effects or health risks that come with Hyperparathyroidism include Osteoporosis, kidney Stones, and cardiovascular disease.
What causes secondary hyperparathyroidism?
Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs as the result of an abnormality outside the parathyroid glands related to the body's metabolism, or chemical changes in living cells that help provide the body's energy.
What is Tertiary hyperparathyroidism?
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism occurs when CRF causes a severe imbalance in the calcium-phosphate ratio, leading to very high PTH production that results in hypercalcemia. Patients with this condition have high PTH and high calcium levels.
What hormones does hyperparathyroidism affect?
Hyperparathyroidism uses the hormone parathyroid (PTH).
What is the alternate treatment of hyperparathyroidism?
There is no safe or reliable alternative to removal of the parathyroid glands for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism.

What causes primary hyperparathyroidism?
A common result of hyperparathyroidism is hypercalcemia, or an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood. Additionally, some, but not all patients who have this disease will also have an above-normal level of PTH or parathyroid hormone, as well as a low vitamin D level. The reason for a low vitamin D level in patients with hyperparathyroidism is a protective measure by the body. The primary purpose of vitamin D is to allow the intestines to absorb calcium. When the body detects higher than normal calcium, it restricts the amount of vitamin D that is produced by the skin.
