Q. Low ${Ca}^{2 +}$ in the body fluid may be the cause of
A) Tetany
B) Anaemia
C) Angina pectoris
D) Gout
Explanation
The usual cause of tetany is lack of calcium. Since calcium is required for blood clotting, nerve and muscle functioning, so low level of calcium or hyposecretion of parathormone lead to tetany. But excess of phosphate can also trigger the spasms.
