Blood tests: Measurement of total and ionized calcium levels are essential to confirm hypercalcemia.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels: To determine if the cause is parathyroid-related.
Assessment of vitamin D levels to rule out vitamin D toxicity.
Review of medication history to identify potential drug-induced causes.
