Clinical significance:
More than 99% of body calcium exists in bones and teeth. The remaining 1% is present in blood and soft tissues and serves as a cofactor in blood coagulation, metabolism and neuromuscular physiology. Many factors influence serum calcium levels: hypercalcemia (increased serum calcium) is observed in hyperparathyroidism, hypervitaminosis, sarcoidosis, myeloma and certain cancers of the bone. Hypocalcemia (decreased serum calcium) is encountered in hypoparathyroidism, rickets, nephrosis, nephritis, steatorrhea and pancreatitis.
