    I think that; Thiazide diuretics can contribute to hypercalcemia by inducing the distal tubule in the kidneys to increase the amount of calcium that is reabsorbed into the body. It contributes to alkalosis by increasing the amount of Potassium that replaces the hydrogen, which makes the blood pH more basic (increasig the pH of the blood).
