ABSTRACT
Concentrations of total calcium and albumin were measured in serum specimens from 41 women at intervals before, during, and after 42 pregnancies. The albumin concentration decreased but the calcium decreased more slowly, so that the albumin-adjusted calcium concentration increased from conception to term. These findings, taken in conjunction with published observations of hypercalciuria, increased concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and calcitonin in serum, and decreased concentrations of intact parathyrin in serum, strongly suggest that maternal ionized calcium increases throughout normal pregnancy.
