Calcium

The calcium test in the laboratory measures the level of calcium in the blood.
It helps evaluate bone health, kidney function, parathyroid activity, and calcium-related disorders.
Calcium exists in two forms in the blood: bound (mostly to proteins) and free or ionized (active form).
The test can check total calcium or specifically ionized calcium.
Abnormal levels may indicate conditions like hyperparathyroidism,
vitamin D imbalance, kidney disease, or bone disorders.

Magnesium

The magnesium test in the laboratory measures the amount of magnesium in the blood.
Magnesium is essential for muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, and bone health.
This test helps diagnose magnesium deficiency or excess,
which may be caused by malnutrition, chronic diarrhea, kidney disease, or alcoholism.
Abnormal levels can affect muscle function, cause arrhythmias, or indicate metabolic disorders.

Phosphorus

The phosphorus test in the laboratory measures the level of phosphate in the blood.
Phosphorus is vital for bone formation, energy production, and cell function.
This test helps assess kidney function, parathyroid gland activity, and calcium-phosphorus balance.
Abnormal levels may indicate conditions
like kidney disease, bone disorders, vitamin D imbalance, or hormonal issues.
