Calcium Total (Serum) measures the total amount of calcium in the blood, including free (ionized) calcium and calcium bound to proteins such as albumin. Calcium is essential for bone and teeth strength, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, blood clotting, and heart rhythm regulation. Abnormal calcium levels may indicate disorders of the parathyroid glands, vitamin D imbalance, kidney disease, bone diseases, or certain cancers. This test is commonly ordered as part of routine health check-ups, bone health evaluation, and investigation of symptoms like bone pain, muscle cramps, kidney stones, or abnormal heart rhythms.
