Your video helped me alot ..thanks🌻

[@danyahaider5994]

Wow that was quite quick and easy! Thanks alot! I must be paying my college fees to you instead! 🎓

[@ashwinibb2306]

Understood in detail
Thank you

thank you sir...you made it very easy..

So when you are doing a calcium serum level, it doesn't distinguish between bound and unbound calcium. The level is what it is. The albumin level than determines or tells us how much of the calcium is "free" or "bound" ... So if the overall calcium is 10... and the albumin is above normal, one can than assume the free active calcium levels are low and vice versa, correct?

[@saadrehman4192]

So beautifully explained🥰

[@armitajohn5770]

Thankyou God bless you for this

[@lilianoshibe3926]

Well explained sir!!

[@mngames514]

Thnlz i was confused calcium correction but know i got full thnkz

[@carrengraceguillena2006]

This is a really healpful video sir. Thank you very much.
If I may ask, even if there is a decreased albumin levels, wouldn't be the change in ionized calcium (in the case of dec albumin, an increase in ionized calcium) be reflected on the lab results since there is a separate test for it? Thank you very much again. 😊

Hi sir, i have confusion. Albumin"s unit is g/dl and the Ca2+ unit is mg/dl (0.8). What will be the ans"s unit. Do i need to change 0.8mg/dl to g/dl?

[@nazurinshya]

Thanks friend

[@letusbringsomechange]

1 patient has 4.9 albumin and 10.29 calcium, is it high albumin causing high calcium here?

[@phwshopping1426]

I wish this was answered!

[@ramseslong5614]

Thank you so much. This was so confusing to me.

[@turkeruraloglu6461]

thx alot

[@marinacuesta7290]

question...Is not logical to think that if Albumin levels are low...the calcium that is not bound to them will be free/ionized calcium?...and the ionized calcium levels would be high in Hypoalbuminemia states?.

[@lonesheran]

yes u are right. he made a mistake when he said that for every 1mg/dL drop in serum albumin there is a DECREASE in ionised calcium. the right explanation should be that for every 1mg/dL drop in albumin, there is 0.8mg/dL INCREASE in ionised calcium which is even evident from the fact that when he calculates the equation he gets an answer of 11.6 which is more than 10. this clearly explains that if ur albumin drops by 0.8mg/dL, ur total serum calcium wont change, but the free/unbound/ionised calcium will rise by 0.8mg/dL.

[@singkay3]

@@lonesheran i believe he said, a decrease in calcium-didn’t say ionized. This was in context when he was talking about a drop in albumin which will obviously pertain to total calcium. I might be wrong and missed the part where he said ionized though. Feel free to correct me.

[@samuelpepys1199]

Total calcium=alb-bound + anion-bound + free. In vivo, if albumin is low, total calcium usually is low too. So the other 2 components, anion-bound and ionized (free) calcium--free conc. is regulated physiologically--might not change at all.

my man!

Thanks a lot! You almost saved my life, Cuz I was going to be killed by my professor:)))))
