	Hypercalcemia occurs in two ways, either increased absorption or
increased bone resorption.  The common possibilities are:

	Hyperparathyroidism
	Malignancy with bone mets (breast ca, myeloma, lymphoma)
	Malignancy without bone mets (squamous cell ca, pancreatic ca)
	Sarcoidosis
	Hypervitaminosis D
	Milk-Alkali syndrome
	Hyperthyroidism
	Use of Thiazide diuretics
	Immobilization
