Q

Describe vit D/Ca metabolism

A

ingest vit D or made in skin and enters the bloodstream. In the liver it is converted into 25(OH)D. This goes to the kidney where it is made into:

  1. 1, 25 (OH)2D –> intestine told to abs Ca –>
  2. 24, 25(OH)2D –> actives parathyroid to make PTH–> kidneys reabsorb Ca and bone releases Ca
