Calcium, Ionized

Calcium, Ionized is a blood test that measures the level of ionized calcium, which is the active form of calcium in the bloodstream. This test is important for assessing calcium balance and is often used to evaluate conditions that affect calcium metabolism, such as hypoparathyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, or certain cancers. Ionized calcium levels are crucial for various bodily functions, including muscle contraction, nerve function, and blood clotting, making this test vital for understanding a patient's overall health.
