One very common source of misunderstanding to patients is the lowering of a healthy total calcium when serum albumin drops in serious sickness. Thanks for providing this good normal range; I've seen too many people who've ignored a high calcium from parathyroid or other disease who've wished they'd addressed the subtle underlying problem sooner.

I have to say it is very important to be sure of the units in which a substance like Calcium is measured. If this was reported in units of mmol/L, with normal range of 2.2-2.6 mmol/L, without knowing the units, a person could get very distressed. I can't emphasize enough how important this and Dr. Friedlnder's comment is.

I had a blood test last month & it showed that the normal range for calcium is 8.9-10.3. My level was at 8.9 is that considered deficient since its just barely on the right level? Would this level be the cause for some extreme tiredness some days?

My calcium has been increasing and was 10.3 when last checked. My total protein had been increasing as well but I had that retested recently and it has since come down, back into the normal range. Are these two things related at all?

When a blood test is done, is it alright if only a few things are about .1 above the normal range? My calcium was 10.5 while my Total Protein was 8.2 while the normal range said 10.4 and 8.0. Everything else was fine?
