Effects of pH and the plasma or serum concentrations of total calcium, chloride, magnesium, l‐lactate, and albumin on the plasma ionized calcium concentration in calves

Abstract Background The plasma ionized calcium concentration (cCa2+) represents the biologically active form of calcium and is the preferred method for evaluating calcium status in animals. Different pH‐corrective equations have been developed for human plasma, but the validity of the equations for...
