This was used to analyze total calcium, serum albumin, pH and also ionized calcium values. Albumin corrected calcium is calculated using equation. The preliminary data analyses reporting a significant variation among ionized calcium and total calcium besides albumin corrected calcium in patients with CKD (p .There is a significant variation among ionized calcium and total as well as albumin corrected calcium in subjects with CKD (P Keywords: Albumin, Total Calcium, Ionized Calcium, Dialysis, Chronic Kidney Disease
