Will dosing to remove Phosphate lower Calcium levels?

[Goodersgold]

I am currently dosing Quantum daily, precisely, to lower phosphate levels and numbers are heading n the right direction. My Calcium levels have dropped from 500 to 200 in a week and DkH is 7.7, is this a consequence of dosing to lower PO4?

The calcium decline is a test error somehow. Dosing lanthanum does not cause any large drop in calcium.

Thanks Randy, yes you are correct, my test was inaccurate. I wonder how many questions get answered by improving/ ensuring accurate testing methods.
