A 50-year-old member asked:
could hypothyroidism cause high calcium in blood or its just hyperthyroid?

Extremely rare: Hypothyroidism does not cause high blood calcium levels by itself.
Very rarely hypothyroidism can be associated with autoimmune adrenal disease and a small group of patients with auto immune adrenal disease can have hypercalcemia.
