CALCIUM
What does CALCIUM measure?
This test measures the level of calcium in the blood. Calcium is an important mineral involved in bone health, muscle movement, nerve signaling, and normal heart function. A healthcare professional may order this test to help evaluate calcium balance, monitor certain medical conditions, or assess possible effects of medicines or changes in parathyroid, kidney, or bone function. Results are interpreted along with clinical history and other laboratory findings.
