The calcium is a useful ión in different functions of the human body, but especially for the maintenance of the bony architecture and of the transmission neuromuscular. The absence of Calcium produces excitement of the muscles and of the nerves, on the contrary the excess produces a relaxation of the same ones. The changes of concentration of the calcium in the blood produce bony problems, and the possible alteration of the regulatory hormones of the same one that produce in the glands parathyroids to themselves and in the kidney. The hormone paratiroidea produces an elevation of the levels of Calcium for increasing his intestinal absorption, diminishing his exit for the kidney towards the urine, and increasing the reabsorption of the bone. To realize this analysis it is needed to be on an empty stomach at least 6 hours earlier. There are medicines that can raise the calcium level in blood, antacids, hidralacina, diuretics tiazídicos, and tiroxina. It is possible to realize the capture in an appropriate place (consultation, clinic, hospital) but sometimes it is realized in the proper domicile of the patient. To realize the capture it is needed of locating an appropriate vein and in general there are used the veins placed in the flexura of the elbow. The person entrusted to take the sample will use sanitary gloves, a needle (with a syringe or pipe of extraction). It will put a tortor (tape of gum - latex) in the arm so that the veins retain more blood and turn out to be more visible and accessible. It will clean the area of the prick with an antiseptic one and by means of a palpación it will locate the appropriate vein and will gain access to her with the needle. They will release the tortor. When the blood flows for the needle the sanitary one will realize an aspiration (by means of the syringe or by means of the application of a pipe with gap). On having finished the capture, it extracts the needle to itself and the area is pressed with a cotton or similar torunda to favor the coagulation and it will indicate him to itself that flexione the arm and the area pressed with a Band-Aid supports for some hours. The abstracted blood moves to the analysis laboratory in a special pipe for biochemistry, which contains an anticoagulant product. In general more than 10 milliliters of blood are not usually necessary for a standard battery of biochemical parameters.
 NORMAL VALUES OF CALCIUM IN WHEY
Normal calcium levels in whey: 8,5 to 10,9 mEq/l The minor values of 6 it can cause tetania. In these values there can be very small differences for the skill or for proper criteria of normality of concrete laboratories, sometimes in the status of values and other times for the units to which one alludes.
The developing Calcium levels in the blood can indicate:
The diminished Calcium levels in the blood can indicate:
