i guess sr calcium ( corrected ) is expected ..... so if pateints sr calcium is 13 and we calculate with above formula corrected calcium 14.2
so we are short of 1.2 units of calcium so give that much to get to corrected level ....
this is wat i think.......correct me if i m wrong

This case said that Ca is 13 with low albumin that means this pte has hypercalcemia.
When we correct the albumin Ca. value, it supposts to increase more... are we going to give more calcium????
