CVPR Week 8: Renal handling of P Flashcards
Phosphorus flux between body compartments
Why is keeping phosphate levels in the normal range important
It is required to permit normal calcium deposition and retrieval from bone
Mechanisms of intestinal phosphorus absorption
- Between cells (paracellular)
- through cells (intracellular)
Features of paracellular intestinal phosphorus absorption
- Passive process
- Quantitatively significant when intake is high
Features of transcellular intestinal phosphorus absorption
- Active process
- Influenced by calcitriol
- Calbindin: acts as an intracellular sink to reduce the microvilli [Ca]
Describe renal handling of phosphorus
- PCT 85%
- TAHL 10%
- DCT 3%
- CD 2%
Main mechanism of proximal tubule phosphorus transport
entirely transcellular driven by sodium transport
What gets absorbed in the proximal tubule?
Most stuff (glucose, phosphorus, calcium, amino acids, ketoacids) get absorbed with sodium in the proximal tubule
What is the mechanism of volume depletion and depleted potassium stores in diabetic ketoacidosis?
(ketoaciduria -> increased ketone body reabsorption in the PT -> reduced availability of Na+ for the reabsorption of proximal tubule substrates)
Proximal tubule phosphorus handling
Factors that increase renal absorption of phosphorus
3 listed
- Low-phosphate diet
- 1, 25-Vitamin D3
- Thyroid hormone
Factors that decrease renal absorption of phosphorus
9 listed
- Parathyroid hormone
- Phosphatonins (e.g FGF23)
- High-phosphate diet
- Metabolic acidosis
- Potassium deficiency
- Glucocorticoids
- Dopamine
- Hypertension
- Estrogen
Describe Paraneoplastic tumor-induced osteomalacia
Release of FGF23 by cancer cells: bone pain/fractures/weakness from hypophosphorus
What is FGF23?
Fibroblast growth factor 23 is a phosphantonin and is a key regulator of phosphorus homeostasis
FGF23 AKA
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23
What is a phosphatonin?
i.e. hormone regulating Phosphorus excretion
Where is FGF23 produced?
exclusively in osteocytes and bone-lining cells
FGF23 synthesis is influenced by?
Synthesis increases by
- Phosphorus
- PTH
- Calcitriol
The most rapid inducer of FGF23 expression is?
Calcitriol
How can diet effect FGF23?
A high phosphorus dietary intake can stimulate FGF23 expression
Where is the FGF23 receptor
FGF23R is in the kidney
Describe the FGF23-R
found in the kidney and requires the coreceptor Klotho (which is found in the parathyroids) which decrease in number in aging and CKD
FGF23-R coreceptor
Klotho
CKD AKA
Chronic Kidney Disease
Actions of FGF23
4 listed
- Downregulates luminal sodium/phosphate cotransporters in the proximal tubule
- Inhibits 1α-hydroxylase which decreases calcitriol
- Stimulates 24-hydroxylase which degrades vitamin D
- Inhibits PTH secretion
Resulting in:
Lowering of serum phosphorus
FGF23 overall effect
Lowering of serum phosphorus
Inhibiting 1α-hydroxylase has what effect?
decreases calcitriol
Stimulating 24-hydroxylase has what effect?
Degrades Vitamin D
Describe the integrated regulation of renal P excretion
Mechanisms of hypophosphatemia
Shift into cells
Decreased intestinal absorption
Decreased intake (starvation/alcoholism)
Increased renal loss of phosphate (phosphate wasting)
Mechanisms of hyperphosphatemia
5 listed
- Drop in renal function (acute or CKD)
or more common causes
- Increased intake (oral sodium laxatives)
- Increased tubular reabsorption of phosphate
- increased tissue release
- Shift out of cells
Fanconi syndrome and phosphorus
NaP transporter mutation causes phosphate wasting
NaP transporter mutation that results in phosphate wasting?
Fanconi Syndrome
Alcoholism and phosphate
- will have low phosphorus level
- If they are not alcoholic then they might have Fanconi Syndrome
When phosphorus is high what should you look for?
Look for tissue release (rhabdomyolysis) or poor kidney function
