Overview
Causes
Common Causes
Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia. It is due to excess PTH release by the parathyroid glands. This excess occurs due to an enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands, or a growth (usually not cancer) on one of the glands.
Other common causes include:
- Drugs
- Exogenous vitamin D
- Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy
- Immobilization
- Primary hyperparathyroidism
- Sarcoidosis
- Secondary hyperparathyroidism
