Can dehydration affect calcium test results?

Yes, dehydration can affect calcium test results by increasing calcium concentration in the blood due to reduced fluid levels. This may lead to falsely elevated calcium levels (pseudohypercalcemia). Hydrating adequately before testing ensures accurate results and helps rule out dehydration-related inaccuracies.
