Hypocalcemia Disorders

Hypocalcemia is a condition where there is too little calcium in the blood. Calcium is crucial for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Low calcium levels can lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, tingling in the fingers, and, in severe cases, seizures or heart problems. Causes can include vitamin D deficiency, certain medical conditions, or medications. Treatment typically involves dietary changes, calcium supplements, or addressing the underlying issue. Regular check-ups and monitoring calcium levels are important to manage this condition effectively.
