A member asked:
What does ionized calcium blood test check for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Free calcium: There is a total calcium blood test that measures both ionized calcium and calcium attached to proteins. You may need to have a separate ionized calcium test if you have factors that increase or decrease total calcium levels, such as abnormal blood levels of Albumin or immunoglobulins.
