calcium Flashcards
hydroxyapatite
form ca is stored in the bone
hypo-ca casue
low albumin hypo-paratryriod kidney disease- phosphate doesnt get excreated so ca is low bc it has a receiprol relationship with ca sepsis burns ostoblast cancer hyper- mg
hypo- ca manifestations
HAS DIFFERENT REACTION FOR THE HEART VS THE SKELETAL MUSCLES
hypo- ca causes muscle cramps, hyperactive nerves, hyperactive bowl, CHOVOSTEK AND TROUSSEAU signs
THINK HYPO CA causes increased neuromuscular excitabilty
what happens to skeletal muscle with hypo-ca
it spasms bc of increased irritability of nerves associated with nerve fibers. this happens bc for skeletal muscle ca is stores in them for future use so even if we dont have enough circulating these muscles can still contract
cardiac muscle and hypo- ca
weak contraction or no contraction. unlike skeletal muscles the heart uses circulating ca to contract so if hypo no enough heart cant contract
hyper ca causes
hyper-para thyriod
cancer- SIGN OF CANCER
too much Vitamin D
medications such as lithuim, thaizide, durietics bc they interact with the para thryiod
prolonged de-mobalization- ca is taken from the bones
manisfections of hyper- ca
muscle weakness
hypoactive reflexes
cardiac arrest
DEC NUEROMUSCLUAR EXCITABILTY
treatment of hyper ca
excertion of ca via loop durietics
hydration to reduce the stones of ca
