What causes hypercalcemia?

Patient's question:

What causes hypercalcemia? Do you understand? What are the causes of hypercalcemia? What factors can cause hypercalcemia, and how can this disease be prevented? What kind of assistance is needed: How can this disease be better prevented?

Doctor's answer:

Hypercalcemia is a condition characterized by excessively high levels of calcium in the blood, often resulting from disturbances in calcium metabolism. When the level of calcium in human blood exceeds 2.75 mmol/L (11 mg/dL), it is considered hypercalcemia. To prevent this disease, the following measures should be taken:
1. Actively manage the underlying condition and undergo regular health check-ups.
2. Engage in appropriate exercise, especially to prevent long-term bed rest in the elderly.
3. Moderately limit the intake of high-calcium foods. Individuals who take calcium supplements and vitamin D supplements for a long time should drink plenty of water and regularly test their blood and urine calcium levels.
