Calculate the true level of calcium in the blood if there is a possibility that the measured level differs from the true level due to albumin or other factors.

The formula for corrected calcium requires two values: serum calcium and albumin. The formula is:
The corrected calcium value is an estimate of the actual calcium level in your blood. It's useful in cases where albumin levels are abnormal, helping healthcare providers to more accurately assess calcium levels. Remember, this tool provides an estimate and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
We strive to make tools that are simple and easy to use. The steps involved with using this tool include:
Let's say there is a person who has a measured calcium level of 12 mg/dL and an albumin level of 9 g/dL. We can use this tool to get a better idea of the true calcium level. We enter 12 into the first field and then 9 into the albumin field, both of the units are correct already so we do not have to change those.
We hit calculate and get a corrected calcium value of 8.0 mg/dL. If needed, we can convert this value to mmol/L which would be 3.0.
The normal range for corrected calcium is typically between 8.5-10.2 mg/dL, according to standard medical sources.
Corrected calcium and adjusted calcium are similar but not identical. They both account for variations in binding proteins like albumin, but the methods to calculate them may differ slightly based on the specific adjustments made.
