A member asked:
Is a calcium level of 10.5 concerning? my albumim level is 5.1. in the past, my levels have been in the 9s. someone had mentioned my "corrected calcium" is 9.62 but i am not sure what that means. i also ate tums the two days prior to my blood test?

All blood test results should be explained to you by the ordering doc to avoid confusion and questions. Was that someone a doc? Corrected serum Ca is what the Ca would be if the serum albumin was normal and is calculated. your albumins have varied in the past. Again have your doc explain . Good luck
