The past two times I've had bloodwork done my serum calcium has been outside the normal range. What's the cause of this? Is this something to be concerned with?

Same. Did you test prolactin by chance?
Ray peat:
As bones lose calcium, the soft tissues calcify; when less calcium is eaten, blood calcium may increase, along with calcium in many organs and tissues; if an organ such as the heart is deprived of calcium for a short time, its cells lose their ability to respond normally to calcium, and instead they take up a large, toxic amount of calcium.
Calcium and Disease: Hypertension, organ calcification, & shock, vs. respiratory energy
I did. It’s pretty much in the normal range - slightly higher than midline.
Yes, could very well be. Once an endocrinologist told me they only check PTH if calcium is out of rangeAnyone know if this would have something to do with PTH?

How much calcium do you get per day? Low calcium, magnesium, or vitamin D intake can elevate PTH and pull calcium from bones.
I’ve read that people who consume to much calcium have high blood calcium and those who don’t eat enough calcium have high blood calcium. Confusing but I’d imagine PTH would determine that.
@Orangeyouglad @brix
..any updates in regard to your calcium-situation?
I also believe that a too low and too high consumption
Can cause Ca to go out of range.
Would like to hear from others about it too.
With proper Vitamin D,i could never handle more than ~ 1200mg Ca myself.
How did this continue ?I've been working on getting my vitamin D levels up through a lot of sun exposure and supplementing more Vitamin K. I checked parathyroid hormone and that's in rage. I'll retest again soon to see if the levels go down.
