A member asked:
What does an elevated or low ionized calcium results mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ionized calcium: Measurement is more accurate than total calcium because it measures the amount of calcium in the blood that is actually available for cellular metabolism. Many possibilities for causes and consequences of low or high calcium, too many to list here. Ask your doctor to interpret your results for you.
