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/L
in 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 the normal reading for calcium in the body?
The atomic weight of calcium is 40, 078 (4) amu.

Human body cannot produce calcium but we can get calcium from the food we eat, particularly the dairy products. ^^
Yes the range for normal Calcium is 8.0-10.0.
Assuming by "normal conditions" you mean room temperature at sea level, pure calcium would be in a solid state.
The normal concentration of total serum calcium (bound calcium plus free calcium) is in the range of 8.8-10.4 mg/dL

Actually the normal phase of calcium is a SOLID.

Yes your body does need calcium because if your body doesn't have calcium it would decrease your bone strength.
it is calcium which has 1 electron less than normal
Calcium is stored in your bones
Diamond No its calcium.
will thyroid produce calcitriol when calcium level is above normal
A normal esr reading is 1 to 12. A result of 77 means there is inflammation in the body.
Corrected Calcium = (0.8 * (Normal Albumin - Pt's Albumin)) + Pt's calcium
You do not have any such bone your body. All bones in your body can burn.
Your body uses calcium to help kepp strong bones and teeth. These are just a couple of the things that your body uses calcium for!
99% of Calcium is the the bones and perhaps cartliage. The other 1% is used in nervous impulses..
