What is the normal reading for calcium in the body?
The serum level of calcium is closely regulated with a normal total calcium of 2.2-2.6 mmol/L (9-10.5 mg/dL) and a normal ionized calcium of 1.1-1.4 mmol/L (4.5-5.6 mg/dL). The amount of total calcium varies with the level of serum albumin, a protein to which calcium is bound. The biologic effect of calcium is determined by the amount of ionized calcium, rather than the total calcium. Ionized calcium does not vary with the albumin level, and therefore it is useful to measure the ionized calcium level when the serum albumin is not within normal ranges, or when a calcium disorder is suspected despite a normal total calcium level.Corrected calcium levelOne can derive a corrected calcium level when the albumin is abnormal. This is to make up for the change in total calcium due to the change in albumin-bound calcium, and gives an estimate of what the calcium level would be if the albumin were within normal ranges.Corrected calcium (mg/dL) = measured total Ca (mg/dL) + 0.8 (4.0 - serum albumin [g/dL]), where 4.0 represents the average albumin level in g/dL. in other words, each 1 g/dL decrease of albumin will decrease 0.8 mg/dL in measured serum Ca and thus 0.8 must be added to the measured Calcium to get a corrected Calcium value.Or: Corrected calcium (mmol/L) = measured total Ca (mmol/L) + 0.02 (40 - serum albumin [g/L]), where 40 represents the average albumin level in g/Lin other words, each 1 g/L decrease of albumin, will decrease 0.02 mmol/L in measured serum Ca and thus 0.02 must be added to the measured value to take this into account and get a corrected calcium.When there is hypoalbuminemia (a lower than normal albumin), the corrected calcium level is higher than the total calcium.
What is corrected calcium?
measured serum calcium + (40-serum albumin)/50
What is the calcium correction for albumin?
Corrected Calcium = (0.8 * (Normal Albumin - Pt's Albumin)) + Pt's calcium
How do you calculate corrected temperature?
Corrected Temperature = 100 - [(760mm Hg - Atmospheric Pressure) * (0.037°C/mm)]
How can calculate equivalent weight of calcium carbonate?
Molar mass of calcium carbonate/calcium valence = 50,04345
A hormone secreted by the parathyroid that raises blood calcium?
The parathyroid glands are responsible for monitoring the calcium level in the blood. When the calcium level is too low, the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) to increase the calcium level in our blood.
What are the effects of parathyroid horomone in relation to calcium?
It increases the calcium level. Also decreases phosphate level
What does a parathyroid horrmone do?
It controls Calcium and phosphate level.It decrease phosphate level and increase calcium level.

What kind of endocrine gland is characterized by a low level of calcium in the blood serum and urine?
Do you mean an endocrine gland that can lower calcium level? If this is your question, the answer is thyroid gland. It produdes calcitonin that lowers calcium level opposing the effect of parathyroid gland which increases calcium level.If you mean, a condition that is characterized by low level of calcium in blood, it is called hypocalcemia.
How many electrons are the third energy level of a calcium atom?
There are 8 electrons in the third energy level of a calcium atom.
