Publisher's Synopsis
In the human body, calcium is an essential element, playing a pivotal role in various physiological functions. While the majority of calcium resides in our bones and teeth, the remaining 1% is distributed throughout our muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and hormonal regulation systems.
The body has an intricate mechanism for regulating calcium levels in the bloodstream, orchestrated by three key hormones: parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and calcitriol.
However, sometimes this delicate balance can be disrupted, leading to a condition known as hypercalcemia. Whether you've been diagnosed with hypercalcemia or suspect you may have it, "Balancing Act: Understanding and Managing Hypercalcemia" is your comprehensive guide to navigating this condition.
