I can't find anything mentioning using Pred for hyocalcemia,
but it IS used for hypercalcemia (too high a blood calcium
level) according to:

which says

When it comes to hypercalcemia, prednisone enables the
kidney to dump extra calcium and potentially bring
dangerously elevated calcium levels down to normal.

Hopefully, more info will be forthcoming.
