Reference ranges Notes 1) This method is calibrated according to the WHO 3rd International Reference Preparation for Chorionic Gonadotropin (WHO 3rd IRP 75/537). 2) For diagnostic purposes, HCG results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings. 3) Pregnancy is detected 1 week after implantation or 4-5 days before first missed menses. Beta-hCG levels between 5 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL may be indicative of early pregnancy; however low levels of hCG can occur in apparently healthy nonpregnant subjects. Because hCG values double approximately every 48 hours in a normal pregnancy, patients with very low levels should be redrawn after 48 hours. 4) Sensitivity of the ICMA method is 2.0 mIU/mL.

Synonyms Ionized Calcium; Ca Ionized Specimen Required Container type SST tube, completely filled Specimen type Centrifuged Serum SST ONLY Preferred volume 2 mL Minimum volume 1 mL Patient Prep Prefer patient be fasting with minimal exercise of patient's arm. Collection procedure Collect and handle anaerobically. The tube should be filled completely to limit the loss of CO2. Specimen processing Allow the SST container to clot 0.5-1 hour. Recommend centrifuging unopened SST container at 1000 RCF for 10-15 minutes. Refrigerate and transport. Transport in original capped (unopened) primary collection container with no further manipulation. Centrifuged capped (unopened) samples are stable at RT-2 hours and refrigerated-1 week. Transport refrigerated sample in original centrifuged capped (unoppened) container. Stability- Room temp 2 hours Refrigerated 1 week Frozen (-20°C) See notes below. Frozen (-70°C) Unacceptable conditions Specimens that have been poured off (aliquot) from original sample container. Specimens shipped on dry ice, hemolyzed or setting in ice cubes only without water. Samples frozen on separator gel. Add on's to a sample that has been uncapped (opened). Cord blood is not acceptable. Limitations Bedrest for 3 days or more may elevate ionized calcium into the abnormal range. Within the pH range of 7.2-7.6 the normalized calcium value included in the report represents what the ionized calcium concentration would be if the pH of the sample was 7.4 For specimens with pH values outside the 7.2-7.6 range, only the ionized calcium value will be reported since the pH is out of range to calculate the normalized value. This ionized calcium result alone may not reflect the physiologic calcium status due to the pH of the specimen. In rare instances where either the ionized calcium or the pH is beyond the range of the instrument (i.e., ionized calcium < 0.8 or >20 mg/dL, and pH < 6.0 or > 8.8), no results will be reported. Department PSHMC Chemistry CPT codes 82330 Test schedule Daily & STAT Turnaround time 1-2 days Method ISE Test includes Calcium, Ionized, mg/dL; Calcium, Normalized, mg/dL. Reference ranges Notes The pH range is critical. For specimens with pH values outside the 7.2-7.6 range only the ionized calcium will be reported. Do not ship on dry ice, ship on cold packs, dry ice can cause supersaturation of CO2 and lower pH. In rare instances where the ionized calcium is beyond the range of the instrument (LT 0.8 or GT 8.8 mg/dL) results will be reported as less than or greater than these limits. The least preferred specimen is a full Sursep microtainer ensuring minimum air exposure when drawing. Handle as above.
