Abstract
Peters1 and his coworkers have demonstrated the interrelationship of serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus and the total plasma proteins with albumin and globulin fractions combined. They have analyzed previous reports and their results and have evaluated the relative effects of protein and phosphorus on serum calcium in the absence of any true defect in calcium metabolism. The relation of the components in this series was defined by the equation Ca = 0.255 P + 0.566 protein + 7. An alignment chart was constructed to conform with this equation. The study of this blood chemical series in patients with edema of congestive heart failure was undertaken with the idea of establishing the presence or absence of any relationship between the series, but especially to determine the calcium level and the effectiveness or lack of the same on digitalization and other therapeutic measures.The patients were all old white men and the normal levels for males established by Peters and his coworkers therefore are applied.
