Why should you take a calcium blood test?

Taking a calcium blood test has many advantages, including:

  • People on certain medications that affect their blood calcium levels need routine calcium blood tests to monitor their calcium levels.
  • If you have symptoms of reduced or elevated blood calcium levels
  • As a component of regular health screenings to give an overview of your general health
  • People diagnosed with calcium-related conditions and to monitor the efficiency of calcium treatments
