Calcium
Calcium is the most plentiful mineral found in the human body. The teeth and bones contain the most calcium (about 99%). Nerve cells, body tissues, blood, and other body fluids contain the remaining calcium.
Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of the human body. Calcium helps form and maintain healthy teeth and bones. Proper levels of calcium over a lifetime can help prevent osteoporosis
Increased calcium for a limited periods does not normally cause side effects. However, receiving a large amount of calcium over a long period of time raises the risk of kidney stones in some people.
Those who do not receive enough calcium over a long period of time can develop calcium deficiency. This condition leads to osteoporosis, loss of the jaw bone (osteonecrosis), hypertension, and other disorders.
Persons with lactose intolerance have trouble digesting lactose, the sugar in milk. There are over-the-counter products available that make it easier to digest lactose. You can also buy lactose-free milk at most grocery stores.
In rare instances, some people have a true allergy to the protein in milk. Such persons must avoid all dairy products and may need to take calcium supplements

Phosphorus
Phosphorous is a component of bone, teeth, nucleic acids, phospholipids, ATP, and a number of enzymes and coenzymes. Phosphorylation of glucose is a requirement for its metabolism. Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of cellular compounds is a mechanism for regulating enzyme activity and for transport and storage of cell compounds. Approximately 85% of the total body phosphate pool is found in bone as hydroxyapatite. The remaining amount of phosphate is distributed in blood and soft tissues. In the blood, phosphate is part of the monobasic-dibasic buffer system.
Phosphorus Deficiency caused by inadequate dietary intake does not occur. However, chronic and excessive use of anticonvulsants, calcium carbonate supplements, or aluminum hydroxide-containing antacids can decrease phosphate absorption. Hypophosphatemia can also develop in individuals with gastrointestinal malabsorption, diabetes mellitus, hyperparathyroidism, renal dysfunction, or alcoholism whether or not it is accompanied by decompensated liver disease. Hypophosphatemia results in bone loss, weakness, and poor appetite

Uric Acid
Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are found in some foods and drinks, such as liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, beer, and wine.
Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys, where it passes out in urine. If your body produces too much uric acid or doesn't remove enough if it, you can get sick. High levels of uric acid in the body is called hyperuricemia.
This test is done to see if you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. High levels of uric acid can cause gout.
Your doctor may also order this test if you have had certain types of chemotherapy. Rapid weight loss, which may occur with such treatments, can increase the amount of uric acid in your blood
C-Reactive protein
[LEFT](CRP is a protein produced as part of the inflammatory process. It is a routine test for heart failure; high levels of CRP may predict a bad outcome. (However, it is an unreliable test for heart failure, because inflammation from other causes also raises CRP
CRP is a plasma protein, an acute phase protein produced by the liver and by adipocytes. It is a member of the pentraxin family of proteins. It is not related to C-peptide or protein C.
CRP is a member of the class of acute phase reactants as its levels rise dramatically during inflammatory processes occurring in the body. This increment is due to a rise in the plasma concentration of IL-6, which is produced predominantly by macrophages[1] as well as adipocytes. CRP binds to phosphorylcholine on microbes. It is thought to assist in complement binding to foreign and damaged cells and enhances phagocytosis by macrophages, which express a receptor for CRP. It is also believed to play an important role in innate immunity, as an early defense system against infections
CRP rises up to 50,000 fold in acute inflammation, such as infection. It rises above normal limits within 6 hours, and peaks at 48 hours. Its half-life is constant, and therefore its level is mainly determined by the rate of production (and hence the severity of the precipitating cause). Serum amyloid A is a related acute phase marker that responds rapidly in similar circumstances.
