2. Coronary CT calcium scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_CT_calcium_scan

   A coronary CT calcium scan is a computed tomography (CT) scan of the heart for the assessment of severity of coronary artery disease. Specifically, it looks for calcium deposits in atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries that can narrow arteries and increase the risk of heart attack. [1] These plaques are the cause of most heart ...

3. Calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

   Calcium metabolism is the movement and regulation of calcium ions (Ca 2+) in (via the gut) and out (via the gut and kidneys) of the body, and between body compartments: the blood plasma, the extracellular and intracellular fluids, and bone. Bone acts as a calcium storage center for deposits and withdrawals as needed by the blood via continual ...

4. Hypercalcaemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercalcaemia

   Once calcium is confirmed to be elevated, a detailed history taken from the subject, including review of medications, any vitamin supplementations, herbal preparations, and previous calcium values. Chronic elevation of calcium with absent or mild symptoms often points to primary hyperparathyroidism or Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. For ...

5. Anion gap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anion_gap

   Calculation. The anion gap is a calculated measure. It is computed with a formula that uses the results of several individual lab tests, each of which measures the concentration of a specific anion or cation. The concentrations are expressed in units of milliequivalents / liter (mEq/L) or in millimoles/litre (mmol/L).

6. Calcium imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_imaging

   Calcium imaging is a microscopy technique to optically measure the calcium (Ca 2+) status of an isolated cell, tissue or medium. Calcium imaging takes advantage of calcium indicators, fluorescent molecules that respond to the binding of Ca 2+ ions by fluorescence properties. Two main classes of calcium indicators exist: chemical indicators and ...

7. Hypocalcemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocalcemia

   Because a significant portion of calcium is bound to albumin, any alteration in the level of albumin will affect the measured level of calcium. A corrected calcium level based on the albumin level is: Corrected calcium (mg/dL) = measured total Ca (mg/dL) + 0.8 * (4.0 - serum albumin [g/dL]). [20]

8. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

   v. t. e. Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry ...

9. Hypercalciuria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercalciuria

   Hypercalciuria. Hypercalciuria is the condition of elevated calcium in the urine. Chronic hypercalciuria may lead to impairment of renal function, nephrocalcinosis, and chronic kidney disease. Patients with hypercalciuria have kidneys that excrete higher levels of calcium than normal, for which there are many possible causes.
