Hypercalcemia – Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Genetics

Several genetic factors would increase the risk of developing hypercalcemia. Studies have shown that a rare genetic condition called familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia might lead to deceptive calcium receptors in the body. As a result, it increases the level of calcium in the blood. This disorder does not trigger any complications or symptoms of hypercalcemia, but it would make your body more susceptible to this health issue. That’s why people with parents, siblings, or close relatives with the condition tend to be at higher risks. [2]
