There are three types of hyperparathyroidism and should be differentiated between each other. Hyperparathyroidism should be differeniated from other causes of hypercalcemia.
Causes of hypercalcemia include:
*Parathyroid related
**Primary hyperparathyroidism
***Typical primary hyperparathyroidism
***Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
**Secondary hyperparathyroidism
**Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
*Non-parathyroid related
**Malignancy
***Para-neoplastic syndrome: Parathyroid hormone related peptide
***Hypercalcemia due to bone destruction
**Medication induced
***Thiazide diuretics
***Lithium
**Nutritional
***Milk alkali syndrome
***Vitamin D toxicity
**Granulomatous disease
***Sarcoidosis
**Surgical
***Immobilization
