Calcium (Adjusted)
What It Is
Adjusted calcium measures the total calcium in your blood, corrected for albumin levels.
Why It Matters
Calcium is essential for bones, nerves, muscles, and heart function. Abnormal levels can indicate parathyroid or bone disorders.
If Levels Are High
High calcium may indicate hyperparathyroidism, excessive vitamin D, or certain cancers.
If Levels Are Low
Low calcium can cause muscle cramps and may relate to vitamin D deficiency or parathyroid issues.
Preparation
No special preparation usually required.
