The formula to calculate corrected calcium is
= 0.8 x (Normal albumin - Patient albumin) + Calcium.
First we multiply 0.8 against the albumin difference.
We multiply 0.8 times the difference of (Normal Albumin - Patient Albumin level).
The patient's calcium value is then added to the other values. This will yield the corrected calcium value.
