Product Description

Diagnostic reagent for the quantitative examination of calcium in human serum or heparin plasma in vitro using a photometric system.

Calcium is an essential molecule in the body, involved in numerous biochemical processes. This mineral is crucial for heart function, kidney function, structural integrity of bones, muscle contraction, and acts as an enzymatic signal in biochemical pathways.

Calcium Testing for Osteoporosis Patients

Osteoporosis is an assessment of bone density and is associated with an increased risk of fractures due to bone fragility. There are two types of osteoporosis: Primary osteoporosis, which occurs due to aging (senile osteoporosis) or after menopause (postmenopausal osteoporosis). Secondary osteoporosis, which results from various disorders and medication side effects. The secondary causes of bone loss—including drug therapy side effects, endocrine disorders, eating disorders, kidney disease, and cancer—are often undiagnosed in osteoporosis patients.

Calcium is a major structural component of bone minerals, ensuring skeletal health. Insufficient calcium intake can lead to osteoporosis and an imbalance between bone resorption (osteoclast activity) and new bone formation (osteoblast activity). Calcium is obtained through diet or supplements and is excreted through urine.

Routine Calcium Examination for Dialysis Patients

A condition where the body absorbs more calcium than needed is called hypercalcemia, which is one of the causes of kidney stones. The management of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) involves regulating serum phosphorus and calcium levels in the body. Patients undergoing hemodialysis with impaired kidney function must regularly monitor their calcium and phosphate levels.

Three Main Hormones Regulating Calcium Levels in the Body:

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH): Released in response to decreased serum calcium levels, increasing calcium absorption in the kidneys.

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (Vitamin D3): The active form of vitamin D that regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism.

Calcitonin: Lowers blood calcium levels and helps maintain bone health.

Measurement Method

Photometric with Phosphonazo III.
