In recent years, when interest in blood biochemistry has greatly increased, the study of blood Ca content has taken a prominent place. This is quite understandable, as the role and importance of Ca in the animal organism are great and varied. There is not a single organ or cell that does not contain lime. The presence of calcium in the cell nuclei and its necessity for the proper functioning of the cell has been proven. Lime deprivation leads to cell death. A number of changes in the body depend on an imbalance between Ca and K. Kraus and Zondek state that "K and Ca are the two poles between which cell life and function oscillate".
