Mildly elevated blood calcium (10.3–11.0 mg/dL) paired with a 'normal' (non-suppressed) PTH: what is worth checking next?

When calcium is high, the interpretation of PTH depends on the simultaneous calcium level, albumin and repeat measurements. Three short questions can help you understand what might deserve attention next.
