    What Is a Calcium - Ionised Test?

    The Ionised Calcium test measures the concentration of unbound calcium in the blood, which is not attached to proteins like albumin. This form of calcium is biologically active and plays an essential role in functions such as muscle contraction, nerve communication, blood clotting, and heart function. While calcium is primarily stored in bones and teeth, ionised calcium circulates in the bloodstream and is readily available for the body’s immediate requirements.

    This test is commonly employed when total calcium levels might not be reliable, especially in individuals with abnormal albumin levels or other calcium-binding proteins. Ionised calcium is vital as it supports numerous critical bodily functions. Imbalances in ionised calcium levels can signal underlying health conditions, such as kidney or parathyroid issues, or other disorders like pancreatitis. The test is often performed when irregular calcium levels are detected in routine blood tests, helping doctors identify causes like kidney disease or parathyroid dysfunction.

    The ionised calcium test is typically ordered alongside other tests to offer a clearer overview of your general health. It may be suggested if symptoms like muscle cramps, tingling, confusion, or irregular heart rhythms raise concerns about a calcium imbalance. The test is also valuable when total calcium levels are abnormal or when a calcium-related condition is suspected. Abnormal calcium levels might lead to additional testing to examine other factors such as magnesium or vitamin deficiencies.

    Having a Calcium Ionised test in Gurgaon can help you detect potential issues early and ensure that your calcium levels are in balance.

    Calcium - Ionised Test Parameters

    The Ionised Calcium test measures only the free, biologically active form of calcium in the blood.

    Around 99% of calcium in the body is stored in the bones, with a small amount circulating in the blood. Of the circulating calcium, about half exists in its "free" or ionised form, which is metabolically active and plays a vital role in muscle contraction, nerve signalling, and blood clotting. The rest of the calcium is "bound" to proteins like albumin, rendering it inactive in metabolic processes.

    There are two primary methods for measuring calcium levels in the blood: the total calcium test and the ionised calcium test. The total calcium test measures both free and bound calcium, while the ionised calcium test specifically measures only the free, active calcium. As ionised calcium is the physiologically active form, this test provides more reliable data for diagnosing calcium-related health issues.

    Calcium is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. The body controls the amount of calcium excreted through the urine in order to maintain normal blood calcium levels. Monitoring urinary calcium levels helps evaluate kidney function and the amount of calcium being eliminated from the body.

    Calcium - Ionised Test Preparation

    Before scheduling a Calcium Ionised test in Gurgaon, please take note of the following:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no need for fasting before undergoing the Calcium Ionised test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The test can be carried out at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get the Calcium Ionised Test?

    This test may be necessary if you display symptoms of bone, kidney, liver, or parathyroid disorders, or if you need to monitor treatment effectiveness for these conditions.

    • Cautions Before Taking the Calcium Ionised Test

    No specific preparation is typically required. However, ionised calcium levels can be affected by changes in pH, medications such as diuretics or calcium supplements, and conditions like COPD. It’s advisable to consult with your doctor beforehand to confirm that the test is suitable for your situation.

    Why Take the Calcium - Ionised Test?

    The ionised calcium test is commonly recommended when there is concern about a calcium imbalance or potential health issues.

    Here are some cases where the test may be ordered:

    • Abnormal Blood Protein Levels : If you have low levels of albumin or other blood proteins.

    • IV Fluids or Blood Transfusions : To monitor calcium levels during or after IV fluids or blood transfusions.

    • Major Surgeries : To evaluate calcium levels in patients undergoing large-scale surgeries.

    • Pregnancy : To ensure proper calcium levels for the health of both mother and baby.

    • Symptoms of Low Calcium : Muscle spasms, numbness around the mouth, or tingling in the fingers and feet.

    • Kidney Disease : Since calcium imbalances are often associated with kidney disease, regular testing is crucial.

    • Signs of High Calcium : Symptoms like fatigue, nausea, increased thirst, or abdominal pain.

    • Signs of Low Calcium : Muscle cramps, tingling, or stomach cramps.

    • Cancer Treatment Monitoring : For patients undergoing treatment for cancers such as breast, lung, or kidney cancer.

    • It was a bit different and nice experience than the other lab people who come to home for collection. The staff was well groomed and dressed. Had a fresh N93 mask and removed shoes outside home. He didn't touch anything after entering and started wearing all his gears which I noticed was unpacked and fresh. Very neatly took swab, disposed the gears separately in his bag and left. Thorough professional. Also, got report within time. Quick and prompt service.
