What is the name of calcium deficiency disease?

Calcium is important for many bodily functions, so a lack of it can affect the muscles, bones, teeth, and mental health, among other things.

Hypocalcemia, also called calcium deficiency disease, is when there isn't enough calcium in the blood.

Long-term calcium deficiency can cause changes in the teeth, cataracts, and the brain, as well as osteoporosis, which makes the bones weak.

There may be no early signs of calcium deficiency. Over time, a person may develop osteopenia, which means their bones aren't as dense as they should be. It's usually not too bad, but if you don't treat it, it can get really bad and even kill you.

A calcium deficiency can also be caused by health problems or treatments, like kidney failure, having your stomach removed, or taking certain drugs, like diuretics.
