Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is an inherited condition that can cause hypercalcemia, a serum calcium level typically above 10.2 mg/dL; although uncommon. [1] It is also known as familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FBHH) where there is usually a family history of hypercalcemia which is mild, a urine calcium to creatinine ratio <0.01, and urine calcium <200 mg/day ...

There are a number of causes of hypercalciuria including genetic (idiopathic), primary hyperparathyroidism, immobilization, pagets disease, Multiple Myeloma, Calcium excess, Vitamin D excess/increased sensitivity, drug-induced hypercalciuria, sarcoidosis, hyperthyroidism, Cushing's disease, and renal tubular acidosis.
