Common Questions and Answers about Blood calcium critical for
blood
t know if your level is low or high. Ranges for most blood tests vary lab to lab and have to be posted with results.
Have you had calcium and PTH levels tested? Those, along with vitamin D, would be the ones that would indicate parathyroid issues.
The only relationship the parathyroids have with the thyroid, is the location in the body. You have 4 parathyroids located directly, behind the thyroid, but their function is entirely different.
re full of folic acid (critical to fetal brain and nervous-system development) and vitamin B6 (which might help ease morning sickness).
3. Eggs: they deliver one of the best sourxes of protein, a key building block of baby's cells.
4. shrimp: these swimmers are a low-mercury source of healthy omega-3 fats, vital to your little one's brain and eye growth.
5. low-fat greek yogurt: you'll typically get more protein than regular yogurt and bone-building calcium.
When your levels of ferritin are low, this is a sign that your iron levels are low but in your case your not critical on iron ( critical iron level is 60-80 ). If the ferritin level is low, there is a risk for lack of iron, which could lead to anemia.
I recommend you take iron supplements and a iron rich diet. The excess of iron is excreted in the stools but too much iron is not good. A healthy person will be able to take 75mg a day without any problem.
Years ago I worked on the NDA for calcium channel blockers. The drug company studies suggested that a universe of people with idiopathic hypertension could control this with vitamin D3 and calcium supplements without other drugs. That does not mean that everyone with high blood pressure can lower it with these supplements. There is a genetic componant. In one test study 15-18 percent of the test subjects could significantly lower blood pressure with calcium and D3.
1- is it true that calcium might be affected if he has low vitamin D even though the blood tests showed nothing concerning calcium ?
2- is there any relation between both ?
3- should he take calcium needles even though his blood tests were normal ?
p.s , he is already on track on solving his vitamin D deficiency .
The normal range for calcium is 8.5-10.2. You are well within that level. Our blood levels fluctuate depending on activity, diet, hormonal fluctuations.... The levels do not remain static at all times. If you continue to notice a trend going forward of the level creeping up, discuss your concerns with your doctor and ask if there is any measures that should be taken to prevent the level from exceeding the normal parameters.
I hope this helps.
OK, just received results of blood test & says high calcium (10.8). Well.......All winter I've been very well, no colds, no brochitis even when the rest of the family was ill. I believe Vit D3 helped keep me well. Been taking about 5000 iu per day. Think that could be causing trouble with the calcium?
You are definately cold because you're not producing enough of the thyroid hormone. Did you Dr tell you why he/she didn't give you any meds? If you were really hyper before it's possible that your Dr felt there was still enough thyroid hormone left in your body but that's not always the case. If you're taking that much calcium your parathyroids were probably bruised or removed during the surgery.
if yes then my suggestion would be to take sodium feredetate and to help the iron absorption you should take a good vitamin C ( 1,000mg ) this good vitamin C can be bough at your local food supplement store.
The balances between these four minerals seems to be critical to health and are probably very critical for thyroid health. Excess amounts or deficiencies of any one of the four may severely disrupt thyroid function. Additionally there seem to be interactions between these four minerals and copper and zinc, which are two metallic minerals with critical thyroid functions.
They are minerals/electrolytes which are critical for health and for normal heart rhythms. Too much or too little of any of them can potentially be fatal. I am convinced that many people who are suffering from heart rhythm disturbances, and taking medications for them, would benefit from having their electrolytes checked. I had horrible arrhythmia until my doctor checked my electrolytes and discovered that I was low in all 3 minerals.
