Calcium deficiency can result from
several factors: (1) reduced intake of calcium and vitamin
D containing foods; (2) bypass of the duodenum, where most
calcium absorption typically occurs; and (3) malabsorption
of vitamin D due to mismixing of pancreatic and biliary
juices in the jejunum(1).
Unlike deficiencies of vitamin B12,
iron, and folate, for which periodic blood testing is a
sensitive indicator of status, calcium deficiency is more
difficult to detect. Only 1% of the body's calcium is in
the blood stream, the rest being in bones, teeth and marrow.
When blood stream calcium is low, the body regularly borrows
calcium from bones and marrow. Consequently, blood stream
calcium is seldom low even when the body intake is insufficient.
The blood stream calcium may be adequate, but the bone calcium
level has been depleted. Hence, a blood test for calcium
will not register a bone calcium deficiency. A bone density
scan is required to do this.
Many gastric bypass patients are unable
to tolerate dairy foods because of an underlying lactase
deficiency. Since the majority of calcium comes from dairy
foods, which are also an important source of vitamin D,
avoidance of these foods can have a significantly impact
on calcium absorption.
