Posted September 18, 20204 yr What is the normal value of calcium for 37th, 36th week premature, same for term? What formula do you use for calcium result correction with albumin value ? Is ionised calcium value in blood gases more valid than total calcium ?
September 20, 20204 yr As calcium varies by pH, I find it myself a bit tricky to interpret levels in asymtomatic babies. as we get ion Ca on our blood gases, that is what we usually assess. here is a relatively good web page with normal reference values: https://www.bettersafercare.vic.gov.au/resources/clinical-guidance/maternity-and-newborn-clinical-network/normal-laboratory-values-for-neonates
