What two medical conditions account for most cases of hypercalcemia?
Of the many causes of hypercalcemia listed in Table 3-1, the most common are malignancy (45%) and hyperparathyroidism (45%). The lengthy differential diagnosis (see Table 3-1) includes the other 10% of the causes. Hence, from a practical standpoint, hypercalcemic disorders can be broken down into two categories: parathyroid hormone (PTH)-mediated hypercalcemia and non–PTH-mediated hypercalcemia.
