Serum Calcium Price in Bangladesh

What is Serum Calcium?

The serum calcium test measures the amount of calcium in the blood, which is essential for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Preparation typically involves fasting for 8-12 hours.

During the test, a blood sample is drawn from a vein. The results are interpreted by comparing calcium levels to the normal range; high or low levels can indicate conditions like kidney disease, osteoporosis, or hyperparathyroidism.

Risks include slight pain or bruising at the blood draw site. Certain factors, like medications or vitamin D levels, may affect the results.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
