Hypercalcemia of malignancy is a common cause of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients. Hypercalcemia of malignancy is typically not due to excess parathyroid hormone (PTH). In these disorders, PTH is usually suppressed due to elevated serum calcium concentrations. A variety of other mechanisms lead to inappropriate hypercalcemia in hypercalcemia of malignancy. These include:
You must be diagnosed with parathyroid disease (hyperparathyroidism) if your parathyroid hormone level is high and your calcium level is also high. The excess parathyroid hormone is the CAUSE of the high calcium. The high calcium is caused by a parathyroid tumor--nothing else will cause this.owever... many people (about 20% of all patients with hyperparathyroidism) will have parathyroid disease when they have high calcium and NORMAL PTH levels... The point here is that the parathyroid gland is still the problem. This is a more complex situation, so we will discuss it at the end of this page.
