Calcium Correction for Hypoalbuminemia Medical Calculator

Serum Calcium:	mg/dL	mmol/L
Patient's Albumin:	g/dL	g/L
Normal Albumin:	g/dL	g/L

Results

Corrected Calcium:

Normal Calcium Levels:	8.5 – 10.5 mg/dL
	2.1 – 2.6 mmol/L

Formula Used:
Corrected Ca = [0.8 x (normal albumin - patient's albumin)] + serum Ca level

Note: The normal albumin level is defaulted to 4 mg/dL Standard Units or 40 g/L if using SI Units. You can change that default value if needed.
