How is hypercalcemia diagnosed?

Your doctor will order a blood test to determine if you have hypercalcemia. If the calcium is elevated, your physician will often review your medications and medical history as well as conduct a physical exam. If there is no obvious cause, your physician may ask you to see an endocrinologist, who will give you further evaluation and testing.
