No: A normal value is less than 10 pg/mL. Women and men can have different normal values, with men having higher values. Sometimes, calcitonin in the blood is checked several times after you are given a shot (injection) of a special medicine that stimulates calcitonin production.May 6, 2019 Calcitonin blood test: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopediamedlineplus.gov › Medical Encyclopedia
