Pathophysiology??? Sounds like someone looking for an easy out on a homework assignment. The answer is in your textbook. I'll never understand why people come here to get homework done. As I always say... Your instructor didn't ask the question because they don't know the answer. They ask questions so you'll do the research necessary to find the answer. Doing research is the key to life long learning, and true intellect.

Hypercalcemia may be caused by many things, the most common of which is high parathyroid hormone levels, which may be due to hyperactive PTH-glands, PTH-adenoma, or paraneoplastic production of PTH, typically squamous cell carcinomas of the lung. Another common cause is simply bone erosion from osteoporosis, or any other condition that weakens/dissolves bone matrix
