Hi and thanks for the query,

the blood tests investigate thyroid and parathyroid function, which due the fact that they produce hormones that control calcium blood levels are measured together. the blood calcium level is actually within normal limits
The thyroid and parathyroid hormone levels are also within normal limits.

Depending on your past history and clinical evaluation results before these tests were asked, conclusions and further testing or recommendations could then be made.

thanks and best regards,

Bain LE, MD.
