Calcium-related disorders

Calcium-related disorders involve problems with the levels of calcium in the body, which is vital for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. The two main types are hypocalcemia (low calcium levels) and hypercalcemia (high calcium levels). Hypocalcemia can lead to muscle cramps and bone fragility, while hypercalcemia may cause nausea, fatigue, and kidney issues. These disorders can result from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, certain diseases, or dietary deficiencies. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, and treatment may include dietary changes, supplements, or medications to restore proper calcium levels.
