Observational analysis improved hypocalcemia detection in hemodialysis patients, indicating point-of-care monitoring enhances calcium management.
Our results highlight the value of direct iCa monitoring as a practical and sensitive tool for detecting hypocalcemia and guiding etelcalcetide therapy. Bedside measurement enabled timely dialysate calcium adjustments, preventing clinically significant hypocalcemia and treatment discontinuation. Point-of-care iCa monitoring offers a safer, more responsive strategy for optimizing calcium management in hemodialysis patients.
