Q

Why is hepatosplenomegaly seen in osteopetrosis?

A

Bone growth in the medullary cavity prevents hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. This leads to extramedullar hematopoiesis (i.e. in liver)

Q

Mechanism by which CA2 defect leads to osteopetrosis

A

  • Absent CA2 prevents osteoclasts from acidyfing resorption pit and solubilizing hydroxyapatite
  • Absent CA2 blocks acidification of urine by renal tubule cells causing renal tubular acidosis
