High “calcium in the blood” (Hypercalcemia) When you have sarcoidosis is usually caused by …
Granulomas which are (inflammatory cell clusters) that “overproduce active” Vitamin D, leading to increased intestinal calcium absorption and bone resorption.
In sarcoidosis, macrophages within granulomas produce excessive amounts of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D levels leading to increased intestinal calcium absorption and enhanced bone resorption, which can result in hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. This dysregulated calcium metabolism can also contribute to bone fragility and reduced bone mineral density over time.
