about half of all calcium is bound to proteins such as serum albumin, but it is the unbound, or ionized, calcium that the body regulates.Thus, if the albumin is low, the measured calcium may appear low when in fact it is physiologically within normal limits.

calcium is not a major factor in coagulation. it only accelerates formation of fibrin which forms even in the absence of calcium
