What the calcium test checks
This test measures calcium in your blood. Calcium is needed for bones, muscles, nerves and the heart.
What it checks
Your blood calcium level, which is tightly controlled by hormones and vitamin D.
How it works
A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm at a lab.
Good to know
Blood calcium says little about bone strength; a bone density scan does that. High calcium is often from overactive parathyroid glands. Calcium is also part of the BMP and CMP. If a result is dangerously out of range, the lab or the ordering clinician will call you right away.
