Acquired hypocalciuric hypercalcemia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1325071304

Patients with acquired hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia present the same clinical features to those with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. While familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia is caused by mutations in several genes including CASR which encodes calcium-sensin receptor, acquired hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia is caused by the production of inhibitory autoantibodies to calcium-sensing receptor.
