What is another word for hypercalcemia?
Pronunciation: [hˌa͡ɪpəkɐlsˈiːmi͡ə] (IPA) 
Hypercalcemia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood. There are several synonyms for hypercalcemia, including hypercalcinemia, hypercalciuria, hypercalcitoninemia, and hyperparathyroidism. Hypercalcinemia is a condition where the serum calcium levels are elevated due to various underlying diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, malignancies, and vitamin D toxicity. Hypercalciuria, on the other hand, is an excess of calcium in the urine and can lead to a predisposition for kidney stones. Hypercalcitoninemia is a rare condition where an excess of calcitonin hormone is produced, and it can cause a decrease in blood calcium levels. Hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia, and it occurs when the parathyroid glands produce too much of the parathyroid hormone, thereby increasing calcium levels in the blood.
