Session Purpose
To enhance medical laboratory professionals’ understanding of calcium metabolism, laboratory measurement techniques, and the clinical interpretation of calcium results, with emphasis on recognizing influencing factors and urinary calcium abnormalities for improved diagnostic accuracy.
Key Objectives
- Differentiate between total calcium and ionized calcium, and explain their physiological roles.
- Identify clinical indications for calcium testing in serum and urine.
- Describe laboratory methods used for calcium determination and their principles.
- Recognize factors influencing total calcium levels and interpret reference intervals appropriately.
- Discuss the clinical significance of calcium abnormalities, including hypercalciuria and hypocalciuria, in patient management.
