What does a low result mean?

A slightly low total calcium is very often tied to mildly reduced albumin or lower vitamin D stores.

What does a high result mean?

A slight increase can arise from temporary dehydration or recent dietary calcium and vitamin supplementation.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Should we calculate corrected calcium based on my albumin level?
  • Are my vitamin D levels adequate to support healthy calcium absorption?
  • Are regular dietary habits sufficient to sustain balance?
