Disorders of calcium metabolism.

The Practitioner, 2007
Hypocalcaemia not associated with hypoalbuminaemia or 25(OH)-Vitamin D deficiency is rare and should be referred to a specialist clinic. 25(OH)-Vitamin D deficiency can often be treated safely by GPs, unless it is associated with renal impairment and secondary hyperparathyroidism, in which case a nephrology referral is required.

Disorders of Calcium Metabolism

Clinical medicine (Northfield, Ill.), 2008
The extracellular fluid (or plasma) calcium concentration is tightly controlled by a complex homeostatic mechanism involving fluxes of calcium across the kidney, bone, and gut. These fluxes are regulated by three major hormones: parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin, and 1,25dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3).

Disorders of Calcium Metabolism

Nephron Physiology, 2010
The genetic contribution to calcium metabolism is well recognized. Many of the proteins that contribute to calcium homeostasis through intestinal absorption, bone deposition and resorption, renal reabsorption and the molecules regulating these processes have been identified.

Disorders of Calcium Metabolism

1991
The adult human body contains 1.3 kg of calcium of which 99% is contained in bones and teeth, 1% in cells of soft tissue, and 0.15% in the extracellular fluid (1). The bone calcium is in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals, and the exchange of calcium between bone and extracellular fluid occurs by two mechanisms: bone turnover, which is concerned with ...

Calcium metabolism disorders simulating rheumatologic diseases

Rheumatology International, 2011
Hypoparathyroidism and hyperparathyroidism may lead to spondylarthropathy or spondylarthropathy-like problems and crystal arthropathy, respectively. In this report, we present 2 cases with hypoparathyroidism and 1 case with hyperparathyroidism who developed spondylarthropathy-like disease, rheumatoid arthritis-like disease, and chondrocalcinosis ...

Disorders of calcium and bone metabolism

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology, 1989
AbstractCalcium levels in blood are maintained within narrow limits by parathyroid hormone, acting on kidney, bone and gut. Our understanding of the mechanisms of these actions has increased greatly in recent years, for example by identification of new hormones (eg 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D) and by the study of isolated bone cells.

Calcium metabolism, calcium supplementation and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1995
In recent years growing attention has been directed towards the possible role of calcium in the development of pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia. Several studies describe calcium metabolism in normal and hypertensive pregnancy, but so far, they have shown discrepant and inconsistent results.

Disorders of calcium metabolism

Current Paediatrics, 2003
Abstract Calcium is crucial for normal neuromuscular activity. It also has a structural role as a component of bone where most of it is present. Plasma calcium is dependent on two main hormones, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone, and their interactions with gut absorption, renal excretion and bone mineralization.

[Disorders of calcium metabolism].

Der Internist, 2015
The majority of clinical complaints derive from disorders of calcium metabolism and are associated with a wide variety of clinical symptoms caused by numerous diseases with entirely different types of pathophysiology. The prognosis varies from favorable to fatal depending on the pathophysiology of the underlying disorder of calcium metabolism ...
