Why should I measure ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone in cases of chronic renal failure?

Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health
In chronic renal failure serum total calcium may be within the reference range. However, this does not ensure that alterations in calcium metabolism are not present. Commonly in renal failure due to loss of functional renal tissue, calcitriol is inadequately produced. Calcitriol is important in the regulation of ionized calcium concentration. This deficient calcitriol production allows the serum ionized calcium concentration to fall, which stimulates the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH).

So, check people in the household for lice and nits every 2-3 days.
