What Causes A High Calcium Level?
I have recently been diagnosed with several nodules on my thyroid by ultrasound. Blood work has returned to my general prac. with no thyroid hormone abnormalities, but high in calcium. I am awaiting a call from general prac. on what she will order re: calcium irregularities, and have an appt. next week with endocrinologist. I am not on calcium supplements, only Cymbalta, Vit D, and Premarin vaginal cream 2xwk. What could high cal be indicative of.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your high calcium level has no relation with your thyroid. It may be due to vit D or some parathyroid disease. You should investigate for parathyroid hormone test. Take treatment accordingly.
