Hello
Thanks for your query
Based on the reports and query, my opinion is
1. Calcium level is in the normal range, to be precise on the higher side of normal.
2. It would be of concern if her levels crossed 12 as symptoms of hypercalcemia appear when the levels are 12 or more.
3. For now, it is not of concern.
4. MCV is also in the normal range.
Hope this helps
Regards
