## What does the Calcium, Ionized test tell you?

Measures ionized calcium — the free, biologically active form of calcium in your blood, separate from the total calcium reported on a metabolic panel.

About half of the calcium in blood is bound to albumin and other proteins; the rest circulates as free ions, and that ionized fraction is what regulates muscle contraction, nerve signaling, heart rhythm and blood clotting. A total calcium result can be misleading when albumin is low or high, when blood pH is abnormal, or in kidney disease — ionized calcium measures the active fraction directly. It is commonly ordered alongside intact PTH, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin D when evaluating parathyroid disorders, unexplained high or low calcium, kidney stones, or symptoms such as tingling, cramps and muscle spasms.
