  • Title: Predictive value of derived calcium figures based on the measurement of ionised calcium.
    Author: Gardner MD, Dryburgh FJ, Fyffe JA, Jenkins AS.
    Journal: Ann Clin Biochem; 1981 Mar; 18 (Pt 2)():106-9. PubMed ID: 7259068.
    Abstract:
    The algorithms used in this hospital to assess calcium status are calculated ionised serum calcium and the serum calcium concentration adjusted for albumin. In order to establish their clinical usefulness, they were compared with the ionised calcium concentration measured on the Nova 2 instrument in patients with various calcium and protein abnormalities. Good correlation was found between the measured and calculated values. The predictive values for the calculated results and for total serum calcium concentrations are presented. In this series, the derived values were useful in predicting the serum ionised calcium concentration of the patients studied.
