Measures

Total calcium in serum.

Why it matters

Calcium is best known for bone, but the small fraction circulating in blood is what allows nerves to fire, muscles to contract and blood to clot. The body regulates it tightly.

Because much of it is bound to albumin, results are often adjusted for albumin level — an unadjusted calcium can be misleading if albumin is unusual.

Suits
