Hypercalcemia

Hypercalcemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of calcium in the blood that can lead to serious health consequences. Calcium is an important mineral that is necessary for many processes in the body, but its excess can lead to disruptions in the functioning of various organs and systems.

The main causes of hypercalcemia include excessive consumption of calcium-rich foods and supplements, long-term use of drugs containing calcium, overdose of drugs for various diseases, and certain other diseases such as kidney or thyroid tumors.

Symptoms of hypercalcemia can vary and depend on the degree of elevation of calcium levels in the blood. Usually

Calcium is an essential mineral required for the normal function of all body systems. However, with increased calcium levels there is a risk of developing a number of serious diseases and complications.

Hypercalcemia is usually caused by hypophosphatemia (a decrease in serum phosphorus levels, since together they are by-products of metabolism - the exchange reaction between phosphorus and calcium. Thus, a deficiency can lead to increased absorption of calcium in the intestine, which is excreted into the kidneys for filtration. Both of these processes can be aggravated
