A member asked:
Can calcium level of 10.8 be caused by taking 500mg of calcium supplement several days a week?the only other calcium i get is in 16oz almond milk/day.

Unlikely: The differential for high calcium, or hypercalcemia, includes problems with the parathyroid glands, cancer, sarcoid, or ingestion. The most common is from a parathyroid adenoma. The parathyroid glands increase calcium levels by secreting parathyroid hormone (pth). If you have an adenoma, you have autonomous PTH secretion, and thus hypercalcemia.
