Calcium Test Information and Booking Guide in Chennai
Calcium Blood Test Preparation and Safety
A total calcium blood test measures calcium in the blood. Results are interpreted alongside the laboratory reference range, symptoms and, when appropriate, albumin, vitamin D or parathyroid hormone results.
Preparation for a Calcium Blood Test
No fasting is usually required for a total calcium blood test. You can eat and drink normally unless your clinician, or another test booked at the same time, gives different instructions. Do not stop prescribed medicines or supplements on your own; tell the booking team or clinician about calcium, vitamin D and regular medicines.
Possible Effects of Blood Collection
A calcium test uses a routine blood draw. Minor, temporary bruising, soreness or light-headedness can occur. Fainting and infection are uncommon. Tell the collection professional if you have previously fainted during blood draws, have a bleeding condition or take blood-thinning medicine.
