Comparison Between Measured and Calculated Free Calcium Values at Different Serum Albumin Concentrations
Introduction: Free ionic calcium is the metabolically active component of total calcium (TCa) in blood. However, most laboratories report TCa levels that are dependent on serum albumin concentration. Hence, several formulae have evolved to calculate free calcium levels from TCa after adjustment for...
