Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 If you are referring to hypercalcemia, this is an elevated amount of calcium in the blood. Here is a site describing some reasons for hypercalcemia: http://www.ohsu.edu/cliniweb/intern/9.html I do not know all the reasons for hypercalcemia, but some of them include: * cancer of the bones * hyperparathyroidism If there is cancer in the bones, there is a site that describes normal calcium metabolism and the hypercalcemia due to cancer at: http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/cancernet/304462.html If hyperparathyroidism is suspected, then you should probably: * Check the levels of PTH - parathormone , also called parathyroid hormone. If it is elevated, it would account for the hypercalcemia. * If parathormone is elevated, may indicate hyperparathyroidism, which would need treatment. I believe the treatment is generally surgery, although am not certain. Here are some sites on hyperparathyroidism: http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/endo/pubs/hyper/hyper.htm http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/oto/grand/12094.html http://text.nlm.nih.gov/nih/cdc/www/82.html The parathyroids are approximately 4 glands usually in the vicinity of the thyroid gland. They are involved, along with the thyroid, in calcium balance in the bones and blood. Parathormone acts to increase the calcium in the blood. Calcitonin, which is secreted from the thyroid, acts to put calcium into the bones. Parathormone and calcitonin work together to keep the calcium in the bones and blood in balance. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2002 Report Share Posted March 16, 2002 Hypercalcemia most often is a deficiency of calcium so the body will pull calcium out of the bones.
