50
Q

what is the causes of osteomalacia

A

softer bones -> fracture

decreased vit d (vit d sitmulates aborption of ca)

51
Q

roles of PTH

A

activates OC (releases calcium from bone)
increases resorption of calcium by renal tubules
increases urinary phosphate excretion

52

which non-tumour is associated with hyperparathyroidism?

A

brown tumour

53
Q

what is the biochem of hypeparathyroidism

54
Q

what happens in secondary hyperparathyroidism?

A

overproduction of PTH secondary to hypercalcemia

55
Q

what happens in tertiary hyperparathyroidism?

A

chronic secondary >develops an adenoma which continues to produce PTH despite biochemical correction

56
Q

what happens in pagets disease of bone?

A

abnormality of bone turn over > thick excess bone > increased metabolism
