I have always had an automatic correction for albumin in any lab I have been
in charge of. When someone orders a calcium they also get an albumin and
corrected calcium. I can't work without it myself so I do not see why anyone
else should. The converse of this is every year the Ministry of Health in
Quebec ask me to account for the fact that I do more albumin than any other
laboratory in Quebec. So I can say I am very much alone on this one.
