Q

Effect of pH on Ca2+ Distribution

Plasma pH influences the distribution of Ca2+

(X) increases fraction of ionized Ca2+ (decreases bound Ca2+)

(Y) decreases fraction of ionized Ca2+ (increases bound Ca2+)

A
X = Acidemia (H+ buffered by proteins, displaces Ca2+)
Y = Alkalemia (H+ dissociates from proteins, replaced by Ca2+)

Q

What is the mechanism of transport for Ca2+ reabsorption in the LOH?

A

Paracellular transport

“Back-leak” of K+ generates positive lumen voltage that drives reabsorption of Ca2+ and other cations

This process can be inhibited by loop diuretics

Q

What are the actions of PTH?

A
  1. Increase renal Ca2+ reabsorption
  2. Increase bone resorption
  3. increase calcitrol synthesis (kidney), increasing absorbed Ca2+

16
Q

Net effect of PTH?

A

Increased serum [Ca2+] back to normal

17
Q

Where is the receptor that binds PTH located?

A

Basolateral surface of DT cell

18
Q

PTH stimulates insertion of (X) channels into apical membrane, increasing the Ca2+ reabsorption. In addition, PTH stimulates 1α-hydroxylase activity in the proximal tubule to increase (Y) (1,25(OH)2-vitamin D) synthesis

A
X = TRPV5
Y = calcitriol
19
Q

What are the actions of 1,25(OH)2-Vitamin D?

A
  1. Increase intestinal reabsorption of Ca2+
  2. Increase bone resorption
  3. Increase renal Ca2+ reabsorption
20
Q

What is the net effect of 1,25(OH)2-Vitamin D?

A

Increased serum [Ca2+]

21
Q

↑ plasma [Ca2+] Effect on Ca2+ regulation

Decreases (X) Ca2+ reabsorption (decreased gradient for paracellular transport)

Decreases Ca2+ reabsorption at loop of Henle by activation of (Y)

Suppresses (Z)

A
X = PT
Y = CaSR
Z = PTH
22
Q

What is the net effect of increased plasma [Ca2+] on excretion of Ca2+?

A

NET EFFECT: Increases Ca2+ excretion

Hypocalcemia has opposite effect

23
Q

What % of Phosphorus is in bone/teeth, ECF, and ICF?

A

85% in bone/teeth

1% in ECF, 14% in ICF

24
Q

ECF/ICF phosphorus plays important role in what 4 functions?

A

Energy metabolism
Bone formation
Signal transduction
Phospholipids, nucleic acids

25
Q

At physiologic pH, ionized Pi exists primarily as (X) and (Y)

Ratio of these forms is determined by equation

At pH 7.4, [X] to [Y] is (Z)

A
X = HPO42-
Y = H2PO4-
Z = 4:1
26
Q

Intestinal absorption of Pi is greatest in (X), little in (Y). This is mediated by the (Z) (Na+-phosphate cotransporter) and regulated by 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D (calcitrol)

A
X = duodenum and jejunum
Y = ileum
Z = NaPi-2b
27
Q

Renal Regulation of Pi:

Ionized and complexed forms ((X)%) are filtered

80% reabsorbed by (Y)

20% is excreted

A
X = 75
Y = proximal tubule
28
Q

In the PT, Pi is transported by

(X) transport:

  • (Y) symporters
  • Type 2a (3Na+/HPO42-)
  • Type 2c (2Na+/HPO42-)
  • PiT-2 (2Na+/H2PO4-)

-Pi-inorganic anion transporter

A
X = Transcellular
Y = Na+-Pi
29
Q

In the PT, for Pi transport, (X) of co-transporters determines amount of Pi reabsorbed

A

X = Abundance

30
Q

A
Dietary Pi intake
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23)

ECF volume
Acid-base balance

31
Q

Increases in dietary phosphorus lead to what effects?

A

Decreased PT Na+-phosphate cotransport -> Decreased phosphate reabsorption

32
Q

PTH (X) Pi reabsorption at the proximal tubule

Stimulates endocytic removal of (Y) transporters from the apical surface

Leads to renal phosphate (Z)

A
X = decreases
Y = Na+-Pi
Z = excretion
33
Q

FGF-23 and Pi regulation in the Kidney

Produced in (X) in response to (Y) in serum Pi

Requires (Z) (cofactor) to exert its effects on the kidney

Acts at proximal tubule to:

  • Decrease expression and activity of (A) co-transporters
  • Decreases expression of 1α-hydroxylase to decrease synthesis of (B)

Promotes renal phosphate (C)

A
X = osteoclasts
Y = increases
Z = Klotho
A = Na+-Pi
B = calcitriol
C = excretion
34
Q

What 3 conditions stimulate production of FGF-23?

A

⬆ Serum Pi
PTH
