Relationship of serum total calcium and albumin and total protein in owl monkeys (Aotus nancymai).
A positive linear relationship was found between total calcium and albumin and between total calcium and total protein in the serum of 205 owl monkeys. Adjustment formulas for calcium were derived: adjusted calcium (mg/dl) = measured calcium (mg/dl) - 0.84 [albumin (g/dl)] + 3.8 and adjusted calcium (mg/dl) = measured calcium (mg/dl) - 0.82 [total protein (g/dl)] + 6.5. Adjusted calcium calculations for monkeys based on albumin concentration were similar to those for man and dogs, but different from those based on total protein.
