Q

What does complete and balanced mean?

A

calcium to phosphorus ration
general target 1:1-4:1 ration
1:1-2:1 is most common ratio
Consequences <1:1
increased PTH-pulls calcium from bone-osteopenia (nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism)
Consequences>4:1
calcium based urolithiasis
down regulates PTH
