Low calcium: Low calcium by itself does not mean much.To determine if there is a problem you need to have calcium phosphorus levels and ionised calcium level and level of Albumin in the blood.If Albumin is normal and you have low level of ionised calcium.Then you need to check your parathyroid hormone level and if it is low then your low calcium is due to it and you need to be treated with calcium + vitamin d.
