Abstract
The conventional calcium correction formula (corrected total calcium (mmol/L) = TCa (mmol/L) + 0.02 [40 (g/L) - albumin (g/L)]) is broadly applied for the estimation of serum calcium in haemodialysis (HD) patients, despite the fact that it was not derived or validated in a HD population. A novel formula was derived and validated for corrected serum calcium in HD patients.
