Description
The Ionized Calcium (Ionic Calcium) test measures the amount of free, active calcium in the blood, which is important for functions like muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and bone health. It helps diagnose conditions related to abnormal calcium levels, such as parathyroid disorders or kidney disease. Unlike total calcium tests, it only measures the biologically active form. Normal levels range from 4.6 to 5.3 mg/dL. Abnormal levels can indicate conditions like hypocalcemia (low calcium) or hypercalcemia (high calcium), and the test is esp....
