Kidney is an excretory organ, which functions by filtering waste products out of the blood. The rate at which the kidneys filter the blood depend on some factors; such factors include: water intake, systemic blood pressure, vasoconstriction, dehydration, filtration membrane integrity etc.

Blood calcium level does not have any effect on the rate at which the kidneys filter the blood.
