Calcium And Phosphate Homeostasis Flashcards
Ca+ in the body is found Where
99% bone and teeth 1% ICF Rest in ECF and Plasma
Ca+ is found HOW in what form
ACTIVE= Ca+2 (50%) 40% protein bound 60% ultra-filterable——10% anions attached to another ion , 50% Ionized ca+2
During Aging Ca+
Ca+2 absorption is decreased from food and such
=BONE gets reabsorbed faster then new bone can be made since Ca+2 is needed and not taken in sufficiently from food= osteoporosis, osteopenia
Hypocalcemia:
And symptoms
and signs
low Ca+2 in plasma
hyperreflexia, spntaneous twitching, muscle cramp, tingling and numbness
Chnostek sign=facial muscels twitch, when tap on facial nerve
Trousseau Sign= spasm of wrist and forarm when BP cuff is put on arm
Hypercalcemi:
Symptoms
high plasma Ca+2
shorter QT interval, constipation, low appetite, polyuria, muscle weakness, hyporeflexia, lethargy
Plasma Ca+2
ECM Ca+2
Low Ca+2 plasma
lowers threthhold for activation of NA+ channels to open
easier to get AP
=spontaneous AP made
=Hopocalcemic TETANY
(tingling, numbness-sensory neurons, spontaneous muscle twitches-motor neurons)
High Ca+2 plasma
harder to get AP , farther from threshold
Depressed NS and refelxes are slowed
Change form of Ca+2 found how:
- change [plasma protein] =increase plasma proteins-> increase Ca+2
- change [anion] = increase phosphate concentration –> lower ionized Ca+2
- change acid base abnormalities =change amount of Ca+-ALBUMIN–> ionized Ca+2 changes
Acidemia
high amounts of free ionized Ca+2 due to lower amounts of ALBUMIN
Alkalemia
decrease in free ionized Ca+2 due to high ALBUMIN, and usually due to HYPOCALCEMIA
HOW CA+2 ENTERS ECF
HOW CA+2 LEAVES ECF
(in GI, Bone, Kidneys)
GI: absorbed with VitD
(also secreated into the GI, and excreted)
BONE: resoption by osteoclasts, VitD +PTH
(Deposited also on bone)
KIDNEY:
Reabsorption with PTH
(Filtered into the kidney also)
Bone remodeling
no net gain or loss of Ca+2, deposited=resopted
Kidneys EXcrete how much Ca+2
as much as absorbed by the GI
P and Ca+2 relationship
inversily related
high P = low Ca+2
P: highest in bone85%, then ICF15%, then Plasma1%
PTH Cycle/Pathways of Ca and P
- parathyroid glands make and secrete PTH by chief cells
- PTH = DECREASE Ca+2
PTH = INCREASE P
(high ECM Ca+2—-I PTH synthesis) since Ca+2 binds to CaSR and signals inhibition if PTH synthesis and secretion
when is PTH secreted
low Ca+2 in plasma
PTH H. characteristics
peptide
pre-pro-PTH—-> Pro-PTH—–> PTH in the GOLGI—> packaged into secratory granules
INCREASE RANKL, and DECREASE OPG
Binds to a GPCR
PTH in chronic Hypercalcemia
very low amounts of PTH synthesis and storge
=higher breakdown of stored PTH fragments released into the blood
PTH in chronic hypocalcemia
hgih levels of PTH made
= hyperplasia of parathyroid glands
= hyperparathyroidism
- During Low Ca+2, there is an increase in PTH, this causes WHAT
- Bone: incresed resorption of Ca+2 to ECF
- Kidney: decreased P reabsorption
increased Ca+2 reabsorption to ECF
increased cAMP in urine
- GI: increase absorption of Ca+2 with Vit D also to ECF
- CA+2 INCREASES TO NORMAL
VITAMINE D
increases P and Ca+2 in ECF = mineralization of new bone
decreases PTH
Vit D =STERIOID H.
(Cholecalciferon)- prohormone from diet and modified from sun
1, 25= active
24.25 = inactive
