The normal concentration of total serum calcium (bound calcium plus free calcium) is in the range of 8.8-10.4 mg/dL
Do not use tourniquet
we should not report the potassium level in lupmic serum
The serum level of calcium is closely regulated with a normal total calcium of 2.2-2.6 mmol/L (9-10.5 mg/dL) and a normal ionized calcium of 1.1-1.4 mmol/L (4.5-5.6 mg/dL). The amount of total calcium varies with the level of serum albumin, a protein to which calcium is bound. The biologic effect of calcium is determined by the amount of ionized calcium, rather than the total calcium. Ionized calcium does not vary with the albumin level, and therefore it is useful to measure the ionized calcium level when the serum albumin is not within normal ranges, or when a calcium disorder is suspected despite a normal total calcium level.Corrected calcium levelOne can derive a corrected calcium level when the albumin is abnormal. This is to make up for the change in total calcium due to the change in albumin-bound calcium, and gives an estimate of what the calcium level would be if the albumin were within normal ranges.Corrected calcium (mg/dL) = measured total Ca (mg/dL) + 0.8 (4.0 - serum albumin [g/dL]), where 4.0 represents the average albumin level in g/dL. in other words, each 1 g/dL decrease of albumin will decrease 0.8 mg/dL in measured serum Ca and thus 0.8 must be added to the measured Calcium to get a corrected Calcium value.Or: Corrected calcium (mmol/L) = measured total Ca (mmol/L) + 0.02 (40 - serum albumin [g/L]), where 40 represents the average albumin level in g/Lin other words, each 1 g/L decrease of albumin, will decrease 0.02 mmol/L in measured serum Ca and thus 0.02 must be added to the measured value to take this into account and get a corrected calcium.When there is hypoalbuminemia (a lower than normal albumin), the corrected calcium level is higher than the total calcium.
creatinine serum 0.51 bad or good
When the phosphate enters the bloodstream and forms a complex with the free serum calcium
Its Calcitonin , which responds to increase in serum calcium level...But on the other hand Parathhormone increases the serum calcium level....Dr Sindura C.S
Hypocalcemia ( a low serum calcium level), not hypercalcemia ( a high serum calcium level), tends to cause muscle spasm and in severe cases may lead to muscle tetany.
Serum calcium levels may be used to test for abnormalities in the kidneys. Low calcium levels can be an indication of a kidney disease. Likewise, thyroid and parathyroid diseases also are possible when there is an abnormal serum calcium level.

Do you mean an endocrine gland that can lower calcium level? If this is your question, the answer is thyroid gland. It produdes calcitonin that lowers calcium level opposing the effect of parathyroid gland which increases calcium level.If you mean, a condition that is characterized by low level of calcium in blood, it is called hypocalcemia.
Serum calcium will be depleted in advances osteoporosis. Calcium mostly resides in the bones. In osteoporsosis, the bone is being broken down faster than the body can rebuild it. This causes calcium stores to go from the bones and into the blood stream. Serum calcium is the measure of calcium in the blood, not what is in the bones.
The normal levels of serum potassium are 3.5-5.0 mM
Oral phosphates can lower serum calcium levels, but the long-term use of this approach is not well understood.
