No, my doctor never checked my calcium level but only this year because my DEXA test showed severe osteoporosis. Fortunately, my calcium level showed normal 9.2 with numbers being 8.2-10.2. My parathyroid was borderline 77. Yet, my DEXA is the worse that it has ever been and that confuses me .........i tried to get an appointment with an endocrinologist and the earliest one is in June. I am 79 years old and had a hysterectomy in 1988 due to benign fibroids but have never take any estrogen-progesterone, neither calcium. The only thing I took for the past four years is 4000 iu Vit D3 and my levels are normal (45). I cry every day, I am scared to fall. I never had kidney stones....every year i have an US to check my kidneys. I never had lumbar xrays. I will ask my doctor to do them......he is my family doctor but looks like he knows nothing of all this. He never advised me to see an endocrinologist, he thinks he can do it all.

If your doctor routinely gets a comprehensive metabolic panel, calcium is included.
