title: [Clinical importance of measurement of ionized calcium in the blood].
abstract: The paper presents new views concerning clinical significance of determining ionized calcium (Ca2+) in the blood for diagnosis, monitoring and therapy of different illnesses. The clinical usefulness, specificity and sensitivity of determining ionized Ca2+ as the only one physiologically active form has been discussed versus determining the total amount of blood calcium the greatest part of which is in bound (inactive) form.
