Half the plasma calcium is bound to proteins so it is only the ionised form which is available for filtration. Reabsorption of calcium occurs in the proximal tubule paracellulary however the regulation of how much is reabsorbed occurs in the ascending limb of the loop of henle, the distal tubule and collecting ducts.
