title: Changes in ionized calcium content and related clinical chemical parameters in cases of left-sided abomasal displacement.
abstract: There is still uncertainty about the etiology and pathogenesis of abomasal displacement. Changes in total and ionized calcium are considered to be important pieces in the mosaic of causative factors. The present study on pre- and postoperative clinical chemical changes revealed a preoperative reduction in ionized calcium values. The reduction seemed mainly to be due to changes in the pH of blood.
