Calcium (Serum) ( BC0047 )

Description

Serum Calcium test is a common and important blood test used to measure the level of calcium in the blood. Calcium is an essential mineral required for strong bones and teeth, proper muscle contraction, nerve function, blood clotting, and normal heart rhythm. Maintaining balanced calcium levels is crucial for overall health, as both low and high calcium levels can lead to serious medical conditions.

This test is commonly advised to evaluate bone health, diagnose calcium metabolism disorders, and monitor conditions related to the parathyroid glands, kidneys, and digestive system. Low calcium levels may be associated with vitamin D deficiency, hypoparathyroidism, kidney disease, or malnutrition, while high calcium levels can be linked to hyperparathyroidism, certain cancers, prolonged immobilization, or excessive vitamin D intake. Serum Calcium testing is also helpful in patients experiencing symptoms such as bone pain, muscle cramps, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, numbness, or weakness.
