A member asked:

Are the results of serum calcium test automatically corrected for albumin? 10.4 calcium 4.9 albumin gives me 9.68 if not calculated.

Not automatic: It varies by lab but at our facility the calcium is NOT adjusted for Albumin automatically and must be calculated. Generally, an adjusted calcium in the '9's' is normal for adults.
