Hypercalcemic hypocalciuria: a critical differential diagnosis for hyperparathyroidism.
[familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia]
A
differential
diagnosis
for
hyperparathyroidism
includes
all
causes
of
hypercalcemia
;
the
primary
causes
of
which
are
primary
hyperparathyroidism
and
humoral
hypercalcemia
of
malignancy
.
Benign
familial
hypocalciuric
hypercalcemia
is
a
rare
condition
of
primary
importance
because
failure
to
recognize
this
entity
leads
to
unnecessary
surgery
.
There
are
a
plethora
of
other
rare
causes
of
hypercalcemia
that
can
be
distinguished
from
primary
hyperparathyroidism
by
history
and
laboratory
profiles
.
This
article
discusses
the
main
and
less
common
causes
of
hypercalcemia
and
provides
guidance
for
distinguishing
among
them
.
