Answer
Hypercalcemia is a condition characterized by elevated blood calcium levels and disrupted calcium metabolism. Blood calcium levels exceeding 2.75mmol/L (11mg/dl) are considered hypercalcemia. To prevent this disease, one should: 1. Actively suppress the primary disease, and have regular health checks. 2. Engage in appropriate exercise, especially for the elderly to prevent prolonged bed rest. 3. Moderately restrict the intake of high-calcium foods, such as individuals who have been taking calcium supplements and vitamin D preparations should drink plenty of water, and have regular blood and urine calcium level tests.
