| description | Quantitative measurement of calcium levels in various clinical or veterinary specimens, including tissue, feces, soil, cement and animal food sources (e.g. corn, soybean, hay, grass, grain). In animals, relatively high amounts of dietary calcium can be tolerated. However, when animals are fed calcium above the maximum level over a long period of time, the main side effects include interference with use of other minerals, especially phosphorus and zinc, and/or a significant reduction in feed intake affecting performance. | |

| property | MFr = Mass Fraction | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |

| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | |
