A member asked:

Is a calcium level of 8.4 considered low? if so what can i do to change that? i am on vitamin d supplements as prescribed by a doctor

Specializes in Pediatrics

Close to normal: Your calcium level is at the lower end of the normal range of 8.5-10.5. Consult your physician who ordered the test to interpret your result with other lab results such as vit D and parathyroid levels in addition to bone film to make a proper determination. You may need a referral to a specialist. Good luck!
