Bone test?

[teapot8910]

Hi all

Just seen the test sample form for my next consultant appointment and it has (CAL) Calcium (Tot & Corrected). I've never had one of these before, does anyone know what happens for this as I've never had to have one

Thank you xx

Hi,

This site has all the tests you are likely to be given on an array of illnesses and how they are performed.

If you know the abbreviation then so much the better.

it'll be a blood test they take a sample and spin it done to seperate blood cells from serum and check your calcium and total calcium from that 🙂 Don't worry it'll be a mere scratch and plaster on the arm 🙂
