Talk to your doctor, I know that too much creatine has proven to cause kidney damage if it's taken in high amounts.  Make sure your doctor runs some blood work to find the source of your high levels (including if you do not supplement with liquid or powder creatine)\nDon't freak out and think there's something wrong with you either--remember natural foods also contain Creatine;log your eating habits so your doctor can conclude if certain foods your eating is the cause of high levels, it can be as simple as that).

yes,\nhypercalcemia could develop\nexcessive calcification or the bones and some tissues, and too much calcium can interfere with the functioning of the nerve system and muscles, and blood doesn't coagulate, so scratch or cut will take longer to stop bleeding.  \n\nAlso, excess calcium interferes with body's absorption of zinc, and you need zinc for skin and brain functions among others.\n\nSince only 20% to 30% gets absorbed, the recommended amount is 800 mg per day to maintain an optimum level in a balanced diet,  and 1200 during pregnancy.

no, you may have a calcium alergy. if you can afford it get some blood work done to figure out if you have any food allergies. Start by talking to your doctor.

calcium deposits are a part of athrosclerosis, the aging process of the blood vessels, this is normal for everyone, healthy diet and exercise as well as a good cholesterol control would slow down this process, thats all we can do to prevent them, good luck

High WBC count means your body is fighting an infection.  Those are your immune cells and they are in high numbers because you are sick and they are trying to fight it off.

The most common cause of high potassium (hyperkalemia) is impaired kidney function. Other causes of hyperkalemia include:\nCertain medications, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors \nHormone deficiencies, including adrenal failure (Addison's disease) \nDestruction of red blood cells due to severe injury or burns \nExcessive use of potassium supplements \nSometimes a report of high blood potassium isn't true hyperkalemia. Instead it may be caused by the rupture of red blood cells in the blood sample during or shortly after drawing the sample. The ruptured cells leak their potassium into the serum. This falsely elevates the amount of potassium in the blood sample, even though the potassium level in your body is actually normal.

low ca levels lower the threshold for neural firing.\nIn the peripheral nervous system this manifests as tetany and in the Cental nervous sytem the manifestation is convulsions( quite rare)

calcium is maintaind in the blood by the action of parathyroid hormone and calcitrol\nReceptors monitor the level and if it is low, parathyroid acts on bone to release calcium and increase intestinal absorption, if it is high the hormones act on bone to bind more calcium and the gut to stop absorbing it

Hypocalcemia is an abnormally low level of calcium in the blood. It may be caused by low levels of parathyroid hormone (hypoparathyroidism). Other causes of hypocalcemia include vitamin D deficiency, kidney failure, acute pancreatitis, or insufficient magnesium and protein in the blood. \n\nSymptoms often do not occur with mild hypocalcemia. As hypocalcemia becomes more severe, the following symptoms may develop:\n\nAbnormal heart rhythms\nMuscle cramps, muscle twitching, or seizures\nInability to detect touch accompanied by burning, pricking, tickling, or tingling sensation (paresthesia) of the hands, feet, lips, and tongue\nHypocalcemia is treated by determining and treating the cause of the low blood calcium. Oral or intravenous calcium is given to restore the blood level to normal.

Probably your blood pressure would be high.  However, if you are in doubt, have a doctor check it out.

They are controlled by hormones. Parathyroid gland controls calcium level of your body by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH). Blood pressure is controlled by adrenal glands. It secretes adrenaline, aldosterone and cortisol. The body regulates phosphate levels in the blood through the controlled release of PTH from the parathyroid gland and calcitonin from the thyroid gland.

If your White Blood Count 15,000 it is a bit high, because the normal value maximum is 10,000.The high WBC indicate infection, you should consult he doctor and ask for further laboratory diagnostic test to confirm the causes of high WBC.\nContact me at\nrwnug@yahoo.com or YM with id rwnug or \nmy blog http://rwnug.multiply.com or\nhttp://www.friendster.com/rwindu\nThanks...!

Hi, the way they explained it in my dad's case was that the excess calcuim was blocking up his kidneys.  The calcium comes from the bones as the cancer erodes them.  The kidneys can't handle too much, so dialysis may be required at some point.

My guess is your body doesn't metabolize calcium. Ask your doctor if he thinks drinking LOTS of water will help.
