Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypocalcemia happens when the level of calcium in your blood (not your bones) is too low. Several different health conditions can cause hypocalcemia. The symptoms of hypocalcemia depend on how mild or severe it is. It is treatable and can last for a short time or be chronic depending on the cause.

Detailed explanation-2: -In hypocalcemia, the calcium level in blood is too low. A low calcium level may result from a problem with the parathyroid glands, as well as from diet, kidney disorders, or certain drugs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most laboratories report total serum calcium concentration, which usually ranges between 8.5 to 10.5 mg/dL (2.12 to 2.62 mmol/L). Ionized calcium can also be measured by some laboratories, and the normal range is 4.65 to 5.25 mg/dL (1.16 to 1.31 mmol/L). Any level below this range is considered hypocalcemia.
