Calcitonin "tones down" plasma calcium concentrations (as Ca++). If calcitonin were high, Ca++ would be low, and calcium ion is an important cofactor in the clotting process.

What may occur if calcitonin is hypersecreted?
Low blood calcium. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium therefore it would result in an even lower amount of calcium.
Does potassium help blood clotting?
No. If your body is healthy, it regulates your blood potassium level within a very tight range. If your potassium level were abnormal, clotting would be the least of your problems. This is frequently confused for two reasons: First, vitamin K levels do have a significant effect on clotting and the chemical symbol for potassium is "K". Second, some drugs that are used to control clotting can affect your potassium levels, so people may incorrectly pass on advice from their doctors about potassium and clotting that only applies to them because of the specific medications they take.
