calculation for corrected calcium?
Normal albumin is 4
normal calcium is 8.5 - 10.2
If the albumin is low, at a level of 2, you can correct it with Ca++. if the calcium is 8 -
Correct w/ a 1: .8 ratio.
increase the level of albumin to 4 so you correct the calcium by 1.6 (2 x .8)
the corrected calcium is 9.6.
