What is calcium deficiency?

Up to 1.5 kilograms of calcium are stored in the bones of the human body. Only a small part of the calcium ingested through food circulates in the blood or is present in the body cells. However, there it is involved in a large number of metabolic processes. In the case of muscle cells (including heart muscle cells), for example, only the influx of calcium leads to muscle contraction.

The calcium level in the blood is influenced by hormones, vitamin D, the phosphate metabolism and finally also by food intake. Various factors can cause the level to drop below the normal range. Then a calcium deficiency (hypocalcaemia) occurs. Possible causes are, for example:

Hypalbuminemia = lack of albumin (an important protein in the blood plasma), for example in liver cirrhosis

impaired absorption of vitamin D or calcium, for example in celiac disease or rickets

Kidney failure (renal failure)

Underactive parathyroid glands (hypoparathyroidism)

acute inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis)

certain medications (anti-epileptics, some diuretics, cortisone)

Calcium deficiency: symptoms

A calcium deficiency is often initially without symptoms. Sometimes a tingling sensation occurs around the mouth, hands and feet. If the doctor examines the reflexes, they are often increased. This means that the muscles twitch more violently when the doctor taps certain areas with the reflex hammer.

Sometimes the heartbeat becomes slower, in extreme cases the heart can weaken or even stop. Depression and anxiety can occur. A very typical sign of severe calcium deficiency is what is known as tetany. These are cramps or spasms in the hands and feet. The hands assume a so-called paw position, the feet are in an equinus position, that is, the toes point to the ground when sitting.
