Calcium is available as a dietary supplement, but foods such as milk and kale are also rich in the mineral. A calcium blood test measures the total amount of calcium in your blood. Results of the blood test can show if you have too much or too little calcium in your blood.Irregular calcium blood levels rarely present any unusual signs or symptoms, so a calcium blood test may be the only way to detect a potential problem.uring the calcium blood test, a nurse or healthcare technician will draw blood from a veinâtypically from the inside of the elbow or the back of your hand. A nurse in your doctorâs office may also draw blood while youâre already in the office for a regular checkup.
If blood calcium levels are too low, the body will break down bone and teeth to increase the blood calcium levels. If the blood levels are high, then the body uses the extra calcium to rebuild bone and teeth. The important functions of calcium in the body are too numerous to list entirely in this article. Calcium can bind to phosphate in the digestive system (preventing the phosphate from being absorbed), and it is sometimes used to help prevent or treat high phosphate levels in people with kidney disease.
