A member asked:
Can hypercalcemia be caused because the body is trying to protect you from negative effects of mild/severe acidosis (metabolic acidosis, perhaps)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypercalcemia: The answer to your question is, unfortunately, "no". Hypercalcemia (h) due to hyperparathyroidism is seen with a metabolic acidosis, it is not a defense against acidosis. H is usually not caused by bengin causes. If you, or someone you know, has h, see a endocrinolgoist as soon as possible. Goo luck.
