The Total Calcium test checks the combined amount of free (ionised) calcium and protein-bound calcium in the blood. Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, proper muscle movement, nerve signalling, and blood clotting. Abnormal levels may indicate bone disorders, kidney disease, parathyroid problems, vitamin D deficiency, or certain cancers.
