Background have abnormalities in calcium metabolism that manifest as hypocalcemia and reduced intestinal absorption of calcium. Hypocalcemia is initially attributed to hypoalbuminemia but it may also relate to a low level of ionized calcium. The ionized calcium level depends on the severity and duration of proteinuria. Objective To assess the relationship between ionized calcium and Methods An analytical study with cross-sectional design was methods. Results Pearson correlation test between ionized calcium and serum albumin was significant (P<0.05) with correlation coefficient (r)based on the serum albumin level (x): Conclusion There is a moderately positive linear relationship
