Treatment of hypercalcemia (Options for treating excessive blood calcium levels)

Hypercalcemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood. Treatment of hypercalcemia largely depends on the severity of the condition, underlying cause, and symptomatology. Treatment options may include intravenous fluids, bisphosphonates, corticosteroids, and calcitonin. In severe cases, dialysis may be needed. It is important to identify and treat the underlying cause of hypercalcemia to prevent it from recurring.
