Episode 150 | Chris Cermak has hypercalcemia caused by sarcoidosis
We've talked about a lot of different ways sarcoidosis can affect the body. But this is the first time we've talked to a patient who has hypercalcemia -- where there is too much calcium in the blood. And yes, it can be caused by sarcoidosis. It's a story Chris Cermak is living with, even though his blood calcium reached dangerously high levels.
