Common Questions and Answers about Blood calcium phosphorus ratio

blood

Avatar f tn A calcium lab that measures both ionized and serum A Vit D test Phosphorus and another PTH With symptoms you describe and seeing the higher end of calcium in your blood it would be good to get a second opinion from a parathyroid specialist.
Avatar n tn PTH, calcium in serum/urine, phosphorus (serum/urine), Vit D and of course TSH, free T3 and free T4.

The most absorbable forms are probably citrate or malate for the calcium and citrate for the magnesium, though some are now high on the taurate form. All minerals should be taken with meals for best absorption.
Avatar f tn But I read that blood calcium does not reflect dietary calcium. I realized that it is possible that high dietary calcium cannot be detected via blood testing according to Dr. Ronald Roth (from over 30 years of research): "Intracellular and Serum levels of nutrients represent different physiological and pathological processes. Abnormal levels seen in one medium are not necessarily reflected in the other, so they need to be interpreted differently.
Avatar m tn I'm 23 year old. Recently during a routine blood checkup, I found high calcium and low vitamin D. What is the diagnosis for it ? I followed a vegan diet for last 2 years and lost around 15 kg and I did not take any dairy products. I work on the computer and don't go out much. Can calcium levels rise if I had been living on a diet which had very low calcium for 2 years ? I'm not sure if I had gotten sufficient calcium from vegetables.
Avatar n tn In pets, Calcitriol is only effective when the value of the blood calcium multiplied by the blood phosphorus level is less than 40. After over 15 years, of successful international clinical trials, Calcitriol is still considered experimental in pets. Results have been excellent for both dogs and cats. Kidney transplants are a treatment option in extreme cases, and are available at a few veterinary facilities in the US.
1916673 tn?1420233270 1 ratio of calcium to phosphorus intake. But this gets more complicated when the binder adopted is also calcium-based. It strikes me this is another reason for having regular blood checks undertaken, just to see how things are balancing out. My question for now ... what phosphate binders have you used and how effective do you think they have been?
Avatar m tn t have primary hyperparathyroidism but rather I have secondary hyperparathyroidism because my calcium is falsely elevated in the blood reports due to elevated albumin. What do you think ? serum ca = 10.48 mg/dl (8.10 - 10.40) (10/10/12) pth = 61.20 (15 - 68) (10/10/12) albumin = 4.67 g/dl (3.5 - 5.5) (10/10/12) *CORRECTED SERUM CALCIUM* = 9.94 mg/dl serum ca = 10.58 (8.10 - 10.40) (8/11/12) albumin = 4.96 g/dl (3.
Avatar n tn Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in bone and blood. PTH is made by four small parathyroid glands located in the neck behind the thyroid gland. Hypoparathyroidism occurs when there is too little PTH. Blood calcium levels fall, and phosphorus levels rise. The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is injury to the parathyroid glands during head and neck surgery.
Avatar f tn The only thing I saw (doctor did not think it was a problem) was my blood calcium had crept up from 9.7 in December of 2012 to 9.9 in December of 2013. Note: I do take hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg/day. My Vitamin D was 32 in June 2013 and was 29.5 in December 2013. She told me to take supplements to increase it after 29.5 reading. Is 9..9 too high? No parathyroid or thyroid test done. Doctor thinks this is perfectly normal.
973741 tn?1342342773 1:1 ratio. But I do not take it consistently because I'm not sure I should take it! Your thoughts??
19691093 tn?1488194069 Perhaps with kidneys failing they cannot process calcium into the blood, so the brain wants calcium from bone, and this creates the higher calcium level in blood? If this is so, then I wonder if giving a calcium supplement would help if the kidneys cannot process it into the blood? Would the calcium supplement be urinated out and not enter the blood?
Avatar f tn Calcium is quite a different matter ... there is a biological relationship between calcium and phosphorus, which means calcium can either be a good or very bad supplement, depending entirely on current blood test results. I would not advise using any kind of calcium unless the blood results suggest it is safe to do so.
Avatar f tn My cholesterol is now great (143 LDL and 73 HDL) and kidney function is also good. The only problem I had with my blood test (done on 12/5/2013) was that my calcium has crept up from 9.7 ti 9.9 from December 2012 to December 2013. They did not tell me about the calcium - I always ask about it since calcium was part of what was clogging my artery. They said the calcium level (9.9) was no problem. My Vitamin D was 29.5 and she did say to increase my supplement to raise to level.
Avatar f tn Really worried since my blood calcium level was high last year 10.7 and this year 10.6 dr. Wants me to see a kidney specialist since my parathyroid levels were normal....please tell me this isn't serious and that there can be a simple reason? Any ideas? Anybody experience this?
Avatar f tn In effect, this can give a high reading in bloods, but actually the symptoms of things like Rubber Jaw syndrome prove calcium is in fact low. And when calcium is low in the blood readings, that may be due to other problems, such as high phosphorous. Egg shells are calcium carbonate ... while this can act as a binder, it also adds far too much calcium to the blood, causing problems over time.
Avatar m tn Phosphorus is very abundant in our food sources especially in dairy products and meats. An increase in phosphorus foods will increase your Vitamin D and calcium levels, too. If your levels do not increase from increase of foods, then suggest having your MD check medical reasons as examples above.
1404300 tn?1281299312 Hello Dan & Welcome...... I personally don't know if there are different nutritional needs for a dog w/Diabetes.....Maybe someone else can tell you.....What do you feed her, now? Has your Vet said that Sandra needs any kind of Special Diet because of Diabetes? If the Cushing Symptoms are from the Pred. use, taking her off the drug is suppose to reverse it...However, you CANNOT just stop the steroids.....This is VITAL!
Avatar m tn i wont know my ionized calcium, phosphorus, or magnesium until some time next week. my serium calcium was tested twice. the first time it was 10.4 and most recently it was 10.0.
Avatar n tn Once we are able to get the sum of the blood phosphorus multiplied by the blood calcium to less than 40 we can consider Calcitriol. Calcitriol is a natural form of Vitamin D, human dialysis patients take to regenerate the kidneys. We have it compounded specifically for each dog based on their body weight and Creatinine level. It is a capsule given once a day by mouth. Many dogs with failing kidneys are also anemic, which means their volume of red blood cells is too low.
