Calcium, the fifth most common element in the body, plays major physiological functions. Measurement of blood calcium is one of the most commonly ordered laboratory tests in assessments of calcium homeostasis and disease diagnosis. Hypercalcemia is an increased level of calcium in the blood. This disorder is most commonly caused by primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy. However, other less common causes of elevated calcium levels need to be considered when making a differential diagnosis. This review is intended to provide readers with a better understanding of calcium homeostasis and the causes and pathophysiology of hypercalcemia. Most importantly, this review describes useful approaches for laboratory scientists and clinicians to appropriately diagnose and assess hypercalcemia.
