Calcium Ionized near me in Gurgaon

About 99% of the total amount of calcium received by the body is bound as calcium complex in bones, and the remaining 1% lies in blood circulation. Of the amount of calcium circulating in the blood, about half remains bound to albumin protein or other ions and are metabolically inactive, while the remaining half remains free and metabolically active. Blood Calcium tests can be of two types: Total Calcium Test, used to measure the total calcium concentration in blood, including both the free and bound forms, and Ionized Calcium Test, used to measure the concentration of only the metabolically active form. Ionized calcium provides a more physiologically accurate assessment of calcium, especially in the presence of high protein concentrations, hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism.
