Notes
  • Some practitioners prefer 40 g/L and others 44 g/L as the Normal albumin.[1]
  • Mean albumin concentration is lower than 40 g/L in infants and children age <1 year.[2]
  • * This calculator uses SI units (Système international d'unités) as the default for inputs. Do not use this calculator if you are using conventional units (also known as US units and gravimetric units); please refer instead to the conventional units version of this calculator.

 
Equations used
 
Calcium = Serum_calcium + 0.02 * (Normal_albumin - Patient_albumin)

 

 
Only digits 0 to 9 and a single decimal point (".") are acceptable as numeric inputs. Attempted input of other characters into a numeric field may lead to an incorrect result.
