Calcium is an important element in the body that is used in several functions.
Although 99% is found in our bones and teeth, the remaining 1% is used in the muscles, nerves, vessels, and hormone regulation.
Just like any element in our body, our physiology and biochemistry have an innate way of regulating its levels in our blood to make sure that there is balance for normal functions to proceed.
This natural feedback mechanism is mostly governed by three hormones: parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and calcitriol. (Their involvement will be discussed further later on.)
However, there are times when an underlying disease or over-supplementation leads to an offset of balance such as in the case of hypercalcemia. Which further leads to health complications.
If you have been diagnosed with hypercalcemia or you want to know if you have it, read on further to learn more about its causes and how to manage it.
In this guide, you will be able to answer the following questions:
What are the usual causes of hypercalcemia?
How can you tell if you have it or not?
What does it mean for your health if you have hypercalcemia?
How is hypercalcemia usually treated?
How is hypercalcemia managed at home?
