A high level of circulating calcium along with a loss of bone density might be symptomatic of:

a) hypoparathyroidism

b) hyperparathyroidism

c) osteoporosis

d) a normal functoning parathyrod giand

The correct answer is C. A high level of circulating calcium along with a loss of bone density might be symptomatic of osteoporosis.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis is a disease that affects the bones and is caused by the decrease in bone mass that forms it, both of the proteins that constitute its matrix or structure and of the calcium mineral salts it contains. As a result, the bone is less resistant and more fragile than normal, has less resistance to falls and breaks relatively easily after trauma, causing fractures or microfractures.
