CKD-Metabolic bone disease Flashcards
How does CKD lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism
An imbalance in phosphorous due to reduced kidney function leads to increase work done by the parathyroid
What are the three receptors that influence how the parathyroid gland functions, which is the main regulator, what also influences the gland
Ca-sensing receptor (CaSR), vitamin D-receptor (VDR), FGF-23/ Ca-SR, phosphate
What is the main goal for PTH,
maintaining calcium levels
How does PTH affect the kidney
increases renal absorption of calcium, increases renal excretion of phosphorous, stimulates synthesis of calcitriol
How does PTH affect the intestine
Indirectly increases absorption on calcium and phosphorous in the small intestine
How does PTH affect bone
stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone, inhibits osteoblasts and bone formation
What will trigger increases in PTH
decreased serum calcium levels, decreased production of calcitriol, increased serum phsopshorous (indirect)
What happens to phosphorous and calcitrol in nephron loss and how do these changes affect calcium
Phosphorous increases and binds calcium lowering serum calcium, calcitriol levels decrease lowering calcium levels
T/F: When PTH is activated there is an increase in phosphorous and calcium due to bone breakdown and absorbtion in the intestines BUT the kidney tries to remove phosphorus while reabsorbing calclium
True
T/F: Calcitriol is inactivated Vitamin-D
False: Calcitriol is activated vitamin D
What does FGF-23 do, where is it made
inhibit PTH production, suppress the hormone that creates calcitriol (1-alpha-hydroxylase)/osteocytes
What are consequences of hyperparathyroidism
osteoporosis, vasuclar calcification, cardiovascular issue, anema
What are the four bone diseases that can occur with CKD
ostetitis fibrosa cystica, adynamic bone disease, mixed uremic bone disease, osteomalacia
What usually causes ostetitis fibrosa cystica, what happens
Constantly elevated PTH, accelerated bone formation and resorption that does not allow for proper mineralization increasing the number of osteoid
T/F: Adynamic bone disease is characterized by low turnover bone state and is usually caused by oversupressing PTH through medications
True
When there is high calcium and low PTH levels this may be a sign of what bone disease, what is the level of PTH
Adynamic Bone disease, less than 150
