The different serum albumin assays influence calcium status in haemodialysis patients: a comparative study against free calcium as a reference method
Our study showed evidence of hidden hypocalcaemia being missed by the current practice of using adjusted calcium in HD patients. Therefore, we recommend abandoning the adjustment procedure in samples from stable HD patients in favour of fCa measurement.
