Hypercalcitoninemia and hypocalcemia in acutely ill children: Studies in serum calcium, blood ionized calcium, and calcium-regulating hormones

We studied the hypotheses that serum calcium and blood ionized calcium would be low in acutely ill children and would rise with clinical improvement. In 15 children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit, the blood ionized calcium level was 4.45±0.06 mg/dl (1.11±0.015 mmol/L) on entry versus...
