About This Test
Calcium is one of the most important mineral in the body which is essential for proper functioning of muscle, nerves and the heart
and is required in blood clotting and bone formation. Roughly half of the calcium is referred to as “Free” which is not attached to
albumin and other compounds and is metabolically active.
It provides a more accurate reflection of physiologically active calcium than total calcium, especially in patients with abnormal albumin or acid-base balance.
