Calcium in pregnancy

Procedures which can be used to give an indication of the status of certain substances within the body, e.g. fat, calcium, and nitrogen. Balance studies involve measuring the intake of the substance and comparing it with the amount lost in faeces and urine. Positive balances occur when intake exceeds loss, for example nitrogen and calcium in pregnancy. Negative balances are found when loss exceeds intake, for example in malabsorption.
