Q

what is pagets disease

A

A bone disorder, of unknown origin, characterized by excessive bone destruction and disorganized repair. Complications include skeletal deformity, musculoskeletal pain, kidney stones, and organ dysfunction secondary to pressure from bony overgrowth

Q

PTH and 1,25(OH)2D ______ the input of calcium and phosphorus from bone into the serum and stimulate bone formation.
1,25(OH)2D also ________calcium and phosphate absorption from the gut.
In the kidney, 1,25(OH)2D _____ excretion of both calcium and phosphorus, whereas PTH _______ calcium but _______ phosphorus excretion.
FGF23 stimulates renal excretion of phosphate.
Calcitonin (CT) is a less critical regulator of calcium homeostasis, but in pharmacologic concentrations can reduce serum calcium and phosphorus by ______bone resorption and stimulating their renal excretion.

A

increase

Q

what are 3 regulations of PTH hormone

A
  1. Serum calcium feeds back to parathyroid gland
  2. High calcium
    -Stimulates calcium-sensitive protease in gland
    -Stimulates calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR)
  3. Vitamin D
    -Suppresses PTH production
    -Induces CaSR

Q

how does parathyroid control LOW serum calcium

A

Parathyroid releases PTH
Stimulates bone resorption
Increases calcium uptake from GI tract
Increases calcium reabsorption, hydroxylation of vitamin D by kidney
