Hypocalcemia (Low Calcium) Pathology, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment, Animation

i was born with a calcium deficiency 40 years ago am still fine been on Calcitrol meds all my life and i have a rare type that when i dont have my meds for a week or 2 i have a fit seizure very scary but learnt my lesson on that now .

I'm suffering from hypocalcemia since from birth and now I'm 23yrs old what is the best treatment for me

Im a patient of papillary thyroid carcinoma stage 1 im always feeling numbness anxiety .

Thank you 😊...Very Useful in my current situation...🙏

Nice

So , blood albumin level doesn’t affect free ionized calcium , right ?
I need an answer 😓 with the reference if it available!

My kft profile with calcium is 5.6 mg/dl. Is this normal pls tell I am really worried 😭

I have muscle twitches so much 😭😭and it won’t stop

🙏

Was always confused regarding Mechanism of carpopedal spasm due to hypocalcemia . Thanks !!

I'm learning all about calcium now that I'm post- op (I had a total thyroidectomy and neck dissection) so I guess my parathyroid is confused? It's good to know about it, I'd like to keep the muscle spasms to a minimum

Thank million time 💋💋💋💋

I have calcium diffeciency,I had suffered a lot and now I'm consuming Calcium tablet as prescribed by family doctor.

I wish you explained the physiology of hypocalcemia within heart conduction like you did with hyper/hypokalemia.

No tiene video en español ??

I might have this because my muscle cramps frequently and I have tingling

somebody answer please...

Can a person with hypocalcemia survives living in a cold weather country like canada?

Great tutorial video!
Thank you for sharing.

Awesome videos very brief and full of concepts ! Just start making videos again

Thank you so much

Literally, that's what I wanted to know

Wonderful

Very nice 👍🏼

Que lo pongan en español. Gracias

Can calcium deficiency cause lump in the throat feeling... Im low in vit d and also having other symptoms like chest pain breathing issues, tingling etc

Beyond correcting for just albumin, a novel and simple way of approximating ionized calcium can be seen by searching web with the terms: Ionized Calcium Calculator; 704; medscape
REF: Clinica Chimica Acta 531:375, 2022

I am a hypocalcemia patient and have live on the vitamin D and calcium gluconate iv injection since 2008 till date and please needs help
I lost my parathyroid glands and the thyroid glands during a major surgery.

Is numbness in the legs for long period of sitting like 15 mins and above and sounding of bones when moving are symptoms?

What about role of calcitonin from thyroid ?

I've had calcium deficancy for years my first flat I didn't want electric or gas all the shared houseing uht milk in my room sometimes that's it how do homeless get calcium MILK.. so from now on I drink milk often but no.. I've had 6% max of dairy in 3 years cause I can't leave open containers anywhere ..my oil comes with me everywhere and razors so I always have a bag I could get lockbox soo but I like bag

I have 2 Question :
1- how tingling and numbness occur ( whats the mechanism that related to calcium ) ?
2- when u give calcium gluconate , u have not change any thing because its complex form and inactive ?

Why roll does kidney disease play in effecting calcium uptake? Can the thyroid be to blame alone, with out the kidney?

WOW 🤩 What an Excellent 👌 informative video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎

Tnx for sharing this video host 👍

I full support is done my New friend ❤️

Beautiful explanation. Thank you so much for this ✨💫

Wow numbness and tingling around the mouth this symptom is also with in B-6 and B-12 deficiency. Is there any other vitamin deficiency that has this same symptom to it?

Tnx

i struggle with low calcium from a parathyroidectomy. keeping my levels above 8.4 is not easy. the amount i take in supplements never seems to do the job and i'm left with brain fog, weakness and sometimes cramping and numbness

I have low-ionized calcium is 3.96
And normal range in the laboratory is 4.50--5.23

My vitamin D test is 22.2
The normal range is 30

But my total calcium is good

I have a server headache and insomnia
I feel my leg moves by itself
Like restless leg syndrome especially when I rest or try to sleep
I can't concentrate on anything
Can ionized calcium cause this?
And what are the reasons for it?

Most Calcium deficiency symptoms
1. Fatigue
2. Poor oral health ( Tooth decay )
3. Muscle pain and spasms
4. Cognitive issues
5. Numbness and tingling in your fingers
6. Seizures
7. Abnormal heart rhythm
8. Osteoporosis
9. Weak and brittle nails
10 .Depression
11. Dry skin
12. Muscle cramps
13. Confusion or memory loss
14. Hallucinations
15. Easy fracturing of the bones
16. Difficulty sleeping

Dangerously low calcium level?
Severe hypocalcemia, defined by a serum calcium <1.9 mmol/L (7.6 mg/dL), is often considered an emergency because of a potential risk of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias or seizures.

What depletes calcium?
Eating foods that have a lot of salt (sodium) causes your body to lose calcium and can lead to bone loss. Try to limit the amount of processed foods, canned foods and salt added to the foods you eat each day. To learn if a food is high in sodium, look at the Nutrition Facts label.

What stops the body from absorbing calcium?
Many factors, including age, disease states, and medications, can affect calcium absorption. Carbohydrates may enhance calcium absorption while coffee and cigarette smoke may impede it. The best way to get calcium is through food. Many foods are fortified with calcium.

How can I raise my calcium level quickly?
Good sources of calcium include dairy foods like milk, yoghurt and cheese, calcium fortified foods (such as soy products) and, to a lesser degree, some leafy green vegetables and nuts and seeds. If you don't have enough calcium in your diet, you may be at increased risk of developing osteoporosis.

How long does it take to replenish calcium deficiency?
A few weeks of adequate calcium intake should be enough to boost your levels, but again, another blood test is the only way to know for sure.

Hmm what happened to calcitonin?

I've had this for almost 10 years. There's a ton more symptoms they don't recognize. Such as, exercising during a low episode is very bad to the muscles and body. I certainly don't recommend any hard exercise unless you are stable. The muscles do not recover properly.

Thank you for this video! Your overview of the physiologic function of calcium really helped me understand why certain symptoms manifest for hypocalcemia :)

Very Useful 💛💛

Thank you

Can you please upload a video on Nephrotic syndrome

Should calcium channel blockers be given (IV) or taken PO as needed for tachycardia episodes, when vitamin D and Calcium are LOW?

Thank you! Only have 2 Parathyroids left after a messed-up surgery. Struggle every day with supplement needs.
