Hypercalcaemia (British English) or hypercalcemia (American English) is an elevated calcium (Ca2+) level in the blood. (Normal range: 9–10.5 mg/dL or 2.2–2.6 mmol/L). It can be an asymptomatic laboratory finding but because an elevated calcium level is often indicative of other diseases a workup should be undertaken if it persists. It can be due to excessive skeletal calcium release increased intestinal calcium absorption or decreased renal calcium excretion.
