The importance of measuring ionized calcium in characterizing calcium status and diagnosing primary hyperparathyroidism

Serum total calcium (tCa) is routinely measured for diagnosing calcium disorders but may not reflect levels of biologically active ionized calcium (iCa) in disease or detect all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. We investigated the utility of measuring iCa and tCa for diagnosing primary hyperpar...
