'''Hypercalcaemia''' is a condition characterized by an abnormally high level of [[calcium]] in the blood. It is most commonly a result of overactive [[parathyroid glands]]. Other causes include [[cancer]], certain medications, and excessive intake of [[vitamin D]] or calcium.

==Causes==
Hypercalcaemia can be caused by various conditions, including:

* [[Hyperparathyroidism]]: This is the most common cause of hypercalcaemia. The [[parathyroid glands]] produce too much [[parathyroid hormone]], which leads to increased levels of calcium in the blood.
* [[Cancer]]: Certain types of cancer can cause hypercalcaemia, including [[lung cancer]], [[breast cancer]], and [[multiple myeloma]].
* [[Medications]]: Some medications can cause hypercalcaemia, such as [[lithium]] and certain [[diuretics]].
* [[Vitamin D]] or [[calcium]] overdose: Consuming excessive amounts of vitamin D or calcium can lead to hypercalcaemia.

==Symptoms==
The symptoms of hypercalcaemia can vary depending on the severity of the condition. They may include:

* [[Fatigue]]
* [[Nausea]] and [[vomiting]]
* [[Constipation]]
* [[Excessive thirst]] and frequent urination
* [[Confusion]] or [[memory loss]]
* [[Muscle weakness]]
* [[Bone pain]]

==Diagnosis==
Hypercalcaemia is typically diagnosed through a [[blood test]] that measures the level of calcium in the blood. Additional tests may be performed to determine the underlying cause of the condition.

==Treatment==
Treatment for hypercalcaemia depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. It may include:

* [[Intravenous fluids]]: This can help to lower calcium levels and prevent [[dehydration]].
* [[Medications]]: Certain medications can help to lower calcium levels, such as [[bisphosphonates]] and [[calcitonin]].
* [[Surgery]]: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the overactive parathyroid glands.
