Medical Conditions - Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia

An uncommon genetic condition known as familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is characterized by chronically high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), but low calcium excretion in the urine (hypocalciuric). It usually runs in families and is brought on by mutations in the genes that control calcium homeostasis. Although FHH often causes no symptoms or major health problems, it can occasionally be mistaken for other illnesses such as primary hyperparathyroidism.
