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.
