What is the danger of high calcium?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Multiple causes: High calcium in blood is a marker of something metabolically wrong. It can be anything from dehydration, to parathyroid disorder or some cancers. Therefore persistent hypercalcemia must be thoroughly investigated to determine the cause.

High calcium: High calcium, if from hyperparathyroidism and left untreated, places one at an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, and renal failure.
