There are several types of calcium found in the body. The types include ionised calcium, calcium bound to minerals (known as anions), and calcium bound to proteins (like albumin). Also known as free calcium, ionised calcium is the most reactive of the three types. As the name suggests, the ionised calcium test in Pune and other cities is a test to measure the ionised calcium level in the body.

AN OVERVIEW
About Calcium Ionised Test
Why is the Calcium Ionised test done?
Ionised calcium test is considered the most accurate measure of calcium inside the body of individuals. The ionised calcium level is used to check for any abnormalities or diseases that the person might be suffering from. There are several instances in which calcium ionised test is ordered, which include:
- If the person is receiving blood transfusions
- If the person is critically ill and living on IV fluids
- If the person is having a major surgery
- If there are abnormal levels of blood proteins in the individual
If any of these cases are occurring, it is important to measure how much free calcium is inside the body.
What does the Calcium Ionised test measure?
Calcium is one of the essential minerals that the body needs. The body uses calcium to improve bone strength and teeth, while also improving muscle and nerve functions. Free calcium and bound calcium make up about 50-50 of all the calcium in the body. Therefore, if there is any disbalance in that distribution, it could signify a major disorder.
The test is basically used to quantify the free calcium level in the body. Low levels of free calcium in the body could lead to abnormal heartbeat rates in individuals, muscle spasms, or even coma in severe cases. If there is numbness around the mouth or in the individual’s limbs, the calcium ionised test is used for the purpose.
A calcium serum test is the one most commonly done. It measures the level of free, as well as bound calcium inside the body. A doctor must be contacted if there are any abnormalities.
Risk/Side-effects of Calcium Ionised test
Generally, there is very little risk of any major symptoms inside the body. The person might feel slight pain (or some bruising) in the area where the needle has been pierced to take the blood. But these tend to disappear pretty quickly and not cause any major problems to the patient. In very rare cases, the patient might have blood collection under the skin or develop infection at the site where the needle was pierced. But these are very rare occurrences and nothing major to worry about.
