Medical test - Calcium vs Corrected Calcium level?
483401
albumin binds calcium to a large extent, patients with abnomal albumin content will have abnormal calcium levels for this reason.\n\nThe only (never say only in medicine) active calcium in your body is NOT protein bound.  So what really matters is the ionized version.  Simple formulas based on the ratios of albumin/calcium binding help to estimate the physiologic calcium level.\n\nIonized calcium can be tested for directly, and corrected levels are simply a guess.

Guess work usually is 50% accurate. It is best to get it X Ray and see the true results.

We have no idea what data you [we] have to work with here.\n\nWhat did you do in your lab?\n\nI assume you had a saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 which you then titrated with a stron acid like HCl.  You then should have recored the volume and concentration of the acid required to neutralize the Calcium Hydroxide.\n\nWrite out the chemical reaction between Ca(OH)2 and your acid, find the mole ratio between the moles of acid used and the moles of OH- in solution, and solve.

Bone deterioration is a main factor and a bone density test should be performed periodically.\nTendancy to bruise easily.\nSorry, I forget the rest.  Hope this helps

Sounds like a typo.  Call the lab that performed the test.

Calcium(Ca+²) and Magnesium(Mg+²)

No, it's not.  You need more than just calcium if you are experiencing a weakness of bone.  You need vitamin D as well.  Try taking Viactic as the other answer says.  And regular checkups with your doctor are important to make sure you do not have osteoporosis.

It is the other way around. Calcium atoms ARE present in bones.

(Host consciousness replies)\n\nAlfacalcidol is a D vitamin. There are many D vitamins so we can't say "just vitamin D". It is actually one of the compounds produced by the kidneys following consumption of any of the D vitamins. Because you take it ready made, it can therefore bypass this renal metabolism and is considered a good choice for patients with severe impairment of kidney function. (but is also commonly given to patients with perfectly normal kidneys!)\n\nI do not know what you mean by calcium gland.\n\nVitamin D (just about any) is commony given in combination with calcium. This is because the D vits increase the absorption of calcium from food. Ie you can correct a low calcium level by taking vitamin D. Better still, give vit D and calcium supplement together. \n\nIn UK we have Cacit D3 (spelling) which contains both 500mg calcium (as carbonate) and 440 IU colecalciferol (vit D2). This is a supplement used to correct low calcium levels, typically to reduce loss of calcium from bones in post-menopausal women.\n\nSorry, as to the rest, you must discuss with GP. It is clear you have some metabolic / electrolyte imbalance. It is being treated.  Without diagnosis impossible to comment.\n\nHope above of some use to you.

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.

calcium is mainly used to strengthen your bones so when you get older theres a less chance that you get osteoporosis

As noted from others, exercise and proper calcium levels are a must.  Dairy is not the best source of calcium: the best are kale, collards, spinach and calcium-fortified soymilk.  The best way to get proper levels of calcium and the vitamins and minerals that go along with bone building is with proper digestion.  If you have a history of indigestion/heartburn, and especially if you take antacids or acid decreasing drugs, you must get digestion working properly.  This includes proper levels of acid in the stomach.  This is necessary for calcium absorption.  Look for a company named Standard Process.  They can direct you to a doctor who can help with digestion.  If you are female, proper balancing of hormones is vital as well.  Get checked out by a doctor who uses natural-based medicine.  Good luck!

go to an orthopedic and let him / her look in to the problem it may just be calcium built up and that is where it sets..

I think this would be considered as a negative test, talk to the doctor who ordered this test for you, good luck

Parathyroid hormone will act to increase your blood calcium levels. It will first go to the intestines to see if it can get calcium, next it will affect the kidneys to reclaim calcium and prevent it from being lost in urine, and finally it will take if from your bones. Taking it from bones is the last thing you want to happen as this will lead to osteoporosis.
