Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Calcium Blood Test

Overview

The Calcium test measures the level of this vital mineral in your blood, acting like a window into your body's internal construction crew. Calcium serves as your body's master builder and communication system rolled into one – it builds and maintains strong bones and teeth, helps your muscles contract smoothly (including your heart), enables your nerves to send clear signals throughout your body, and even helps your blood clot properly when you get a cut. Think of calcium as the multitasking mineral that keeps your body's framework solid while ensuring all your internal systems can talk to each other effectively.

When your calcium levels are too high or too low, it's like having a construction site with either too many or too few building materials – things start to go wrong. Low calcium might show up as muscle cramps, tingling in your fingers, or weakening bones, while high levels could signal problems with your parathyroid glands or other underlying conditions. This simple blood test is especially valuable if you're experiencing unexplained muscle cramps, have concerns about bone health, or if your doctor wants to check how well your parathyroid glands are managing your body's calcium balance, giving you clear insights into whether your body's mineral management system is working as it should.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with bone disease, parathyroid disorders, muscle symptoms, or anyone needing comprehensive calcium and bone health assessment.

Questions

  • Calcium is an essential mineral crucial for bone and teeth formation, muscle function, nerve transmission, blood clotting, and heart rhythm regulation.
  • Symptoms may include bone pain, muscle cramps, numbness, tingling, fatigue, and in severe cases, heart rhythm problems or seizures.
  • Causes include parathyroid disorders, vitamin D deficiency, kidney disease, certain medications, and conditions affecting bone metabolism.
  • Treatment depends on the cause and may include dietary changes, calcium and vitamin D supplements, medications, or treatment of underlying conditions.
  • Good sources include dairy products, leafy greens, sardines, almonds, fortified foods, and calcium-set tofu.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of calcium supplements, vitamin D supplements, and any factors that might affect calcium levels or interpretation.

After the test

Address calcium imbalances through dietary modifications, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, treatment of underlying parathyroid or bone conditions, and lifestyle changes. Work with specialists for complex cases.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show calcium levels compared to normal ranges. Abnormal levels may indicate bone disorders, parathyroid dysfunction, or mineral imbalances requiring further evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.
