[1] Calcium is particularly important for bones, muscles, and nerves. [1] The medical use of calcium supplements began in the 19th century. [5]

   glucocorticoids increase urinary calcium excretion and decrease intestinal calcium absorption no effect on calcium level in normal or primary hyperparathyroidism; effective in hypercalcemia due to malignancy with elevated vitamin D levels (many types of malignancies raise the vitamin D level). [22] also effective in hypervitaminosis D and ...

4. Calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

   Calcium regulation in the human body. [6]The plasma ionized calcium concentration is regulated within narrow limits (1.3–1.5 mmol/L). This is achieved by both the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland, and the parathyroid glands constantly sensing (i.e. measuring) the concentration of calcium ions in the blood flowing through them.

   Disorders of calcium metabolism occur when the body has too little or too much calcium. The serum level of calcium is closely regulated within a fairly limited range in the human body. In a healthy physiology, extracellular calcium levels are maintained within a tight range through the actions of parathyroid hormone , vitamin D and the calcium ...

7. Hypocalcemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocalcemia

   Because a portion of both hydrogen ions and calcium are bound to serum albumin, when blood becomes alkalotic, the bound hydrogen ions dissociate from albumin, freeing up the albumin to bind with more calcium and thereby decreasing the freely ionized portion of total serum calcium. For every 0.1 increase in pH, ionized calcium decreases by about ...
