Q

PTH on bone

A

increased bone resorption

  • act on osteoblasts - secrete cytokine
  • osteoclast activity increases

17
Q

PTH on intestine

A

indirectly on Vit D > 1,25 Vit D

increased Ca absorption

18
Q

primary hyperparathyroidism

A

parathyroid adenomas
-increased PTH secretion

hypercalcemia, hypophasphateima

possible oxlalate stones

stones, bones, groans
-oxalate stones, bone resorption, constipation

19
Q

secondaray hyperparathyroidism

A

vit D deficiency, chronic renal failure
-secondary to hypocalcemia

-elevated PTH, Ca low or normal

20
Q

hypoparathyroidism

A

consequence of surgery
-autoimmune less common

low PTH, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia

Tx: oral Ca supplement and active 1,25 Vit D

21
Q

pseudohypoparathyroidism

A

PTH increased
-Gs protein for PTH in kidney and bone defective

albrights hereditary osteodystrophy

hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, short, obese, subQ calcification, short tarsels/carpals

22
Q

hypercalcemia of malignancy

A

lung or breast tumors secrete PTH-rp

all physiological action of PTH

circulating PTH low**

Tx: furosemide - inhibits renal Ca absorption
and etidronate - inhibits bone resorption

23
Q

familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia

A

autosomal dominant
decreased urinary Ca, increased serum Ca

mutations in Ca sensing receptor in parathyroid glands

PTH secretion not inhibited

24
Q

calcitonin

A

from parafollicular, or C, cells of thyroid gland

stimulus - increased plasma Ca

inhibits osteoclast

25
Q

Vitamin D

A

promote mineralization of new bone

from diet and in skin (UV light)

kidney - 25 Vit D > 1,25 Vit D

  • stimulus - high Ca in serum
  • alters activity of a-alpha hydroxylase enzyme
26
Q

Vit D in intestine

A

1,25 - increased Ca and P absorption

27
Q

Vit D and kidney

A

increase Ca and P reabsorption

28
Q

Vit D and bone

A

stimulate osteoclast and bone resorption

-breakdown old bone to create new bone

29
Q

rickets

A

Vit D deficiency in children

-growth failure, skeletal deformities

30
Q

osteomalacia

A

vitamin D deficiency in adults

-bending and softening of bones

31
Q

Vit D resistance

A

kidney can’t produce 1,25 Vit D

  • can be caused by chronic renal failure
  • can lead to osteomalacia
32
Q

CaSR

A

Ca sensing receptor

senses extracellular calcium and controls PTH secretion

33
Q

forms of VIt D

A

Vit D3 and Vit D2 - converted to 25 VIt D in liver

kidney - 25 VIt D to 1,25 Vit D
-enzyme - 1 alpha hydroxylase

34
Q

PTH independent hypercalcemia

A

thiazide diuretics
immobilization**
acute renal failure**

35
Q

acute renal failure

A

hypercalcemia

36
Q

chronic renal failure

A

hypocalcemia

37
Q

causes of hypocalcemia

A

Vit D deficiency
liver failure
hypoproteinemia - decreased albumin - decreased total Ca

38
Q

alkaline phosphatase

A

increased with more resorption of Ca from bone

39
Q

high calcium of malignancy

A

high Ca

low PTH

40
Q

primary hyperparathyroidism

A

high Ca

high PTH

41
Q
