Disorders of Calcium and Magnesium Metabolism

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1989
Although relatively common, aberrations in divalent cation homeostasis may be overlooked in Emergency Department patients. The intracellular concentration of ionized calcium is the major regulator of cellular function. Patients may present with signs and symptoms of deranged calcium homeostasis that range from the mild and nonspecific to the truly life

Calcium Metabolism in Hypertension and Allied Metabolic Disorders

Diabetes Care, 1991
Data suggest a critical role for Ca metabolism in the pathophysiology of hypertensive disease. Intracellularly, all hypertension displays elevated cytosolic free-Ca2+ and suppressed free-Mg2+ levels. Extracellularly, however, heterogeneous defects in Ca and Mg metabolism are observed.

Genetic disorders of calcium metabolism

Bone, 2000
Extracellular calcium ion concentration is regulated by the actions of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on kidney and bone, and parathyroid disorders can be classified according to whether they arise from an excess of PTH, or a deficiency, or insensitivity to PTH.

Calcium Metabolism and Psychiatric Disorder

2002
Publisher Summary This chapter reveals that calcium metabolism is under the regulation of a series of hormones that both maintain the serum calcium between very close limits and, at the same time, ensure skeletal integrity. For the skeleton to provide its major structural function, bone formation and bone resorption overall must remain in balance ...

Genetic Disorders of Calcium and Phosphorus Metabolism

Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 2000
The genetic control of calcium, phosphorus, cartilage, and bone metabolism is discussed, and many of the genes involved in this process are described. Mutations in these genes that lead to the clinical disorders associated with hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia, rickets, and osteochondrodystrophies are delineated.
