Hypercalcemia, or an elevated calcium level in the blood, is relatively frequent. Calcium levels are now frequently tested in blood tests such as annual check-ups. This allows doctors to detect calcium overload early. 

Calcium is required for bone growth, bone strength, hormone balance, nerve, muscle, and brain function. The body regulates calcium levels quite carefully, and certain drugs and illnesses can cause elevated calcium levels. 

Complications of long-term untreated elevated calcium levels included bone loss and fractures, kidney stones, kidney failure, hypertension, and bradycardia (slowed heart rate). Blood tests for prevention have reduced the incidence of these.

Why done? 

A high calcium level in the blood has numerous causes. Hypercalcemia can be caused by:

• Bone cancer or bone cancer that has spread to the bone.
• Cancers that don't spread to the bones can produce hypercalcemia.
• Other problems include hyperthyroidism and Paget's disease of the bones.
• Medications that cause hypercalcemia include alkaline antacids, DES, diuretics, estrogens, and progesterone.

Symptoms of hypercalcemia include:

• Urination and thirst
• Tiredness, bone pain, and migraines
• Nausea, vomiting, constipation, appetite loss
• Forgetfulness
• Depression, forgetfulness, or irritation
• Aches, cramps, and jerks
