Figure 2 Scatter plots of estimated Ca by (A) our equation, (B) laboratory-measured total calcium formula, (C) Payne’s formula, (D) Clase’s formula, (E) Jain’s formula, and (F) Ferrari’s formula versus laboratory-measured ionized calcium level in patients on long-term hemodialysis. Reference line indicates the function of Y=X. (Software used for figure creation: SPSS, version 26.0, manufacturer IBM. Further modified with: PowerPoint, version 2306, manufacturer Microsoft).
