Detailed Solution

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases the Ca2+ levels in the blood. 

PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/ demineralisation). 

PTH also stimulates reabsorption of Ca2+ by the renal tubules and increases Ca2+ absorption from the digested food. 

It is, thus, clear that PTH is a hypercalcemic hormone, i.e., it increases the blood Ca2+ levels.
