1,2,3 -- Treatment of hyperparathyroidism focuses on decreasing the elevated serum calcium levels. Patients with mild hypercalcemia are urged to avoid immobilization, thiazide diuretics, large doses of vitamins A and D, and antacids containing calcium. Teaching should focus on increasing daily oral intake of fluids.
