I have slightly elevated blood calcium. tell me what could cause this?

Different things: Commonly, a slight anomaly in the calcium level could a machine error. In that case, its' prudent to repeat it. A little dehydration can cause the machine to read higher than normal levels. If there's excess parathyroid hormone, that can cause elevation, but usually the values are quite high.
