Are your dialysis patients in positive calcium balance?

A dialysis patient model of net calcium balance has been developed.

By subtracting the amount of calcium excretion from the

amount of absorption, the calcium balance can be determined. A

positive calcium balance indicates a calcium overload in the

extracellular fluid.*

Download the calcium load calculator app and find out if your

dialysis patient has a positive calcium balance.

Use the conversion table app to convert mg/dL to mmol/L for phosphate, calcium and Ca x P.

This application is intended for healthcare professionals only.
