Need for albumin adjustments of urgent total serum calcium.

S J Iqbal1, M Giles, S Ledger, N Nanji, T Howl.

In specimens sent for urgent total calcium measurement, failure to adjust for serum albumin concentration led to errors of diagnosis and treatment. Albumin adjustment is necessary, when measuring total serum calcium, for assessment of true calcium status.
