Pharmacotherapy of Renal Bone Disease Flashcards
PTH + Ca
Increases serum Ca
Vit D + Ca
Increases serum Ca
Calcitonin + Ca
Decrease serum Ca
As you lose nephrons you have
Increased PO4 retention (inhibit Vit D, decreased Ca, stimulate PTH)
Decreased productive of Vit D3
Decreased production of Vit D3
Decrease Ca in GI tract
Stimulated PTH secretion =
Decrease reabsorption of PO4 in proximal tubule
Increased reabsorption of Ca
GFR less than 30
Loss of increase Ca reabsorption and decreased phosphate
Decreased Ca reabsorption and increased phosphate reasborption
Bone resorption maintains Ca levels
PTH levels increase
Secondary hyperparathyroidism ADRs
Altered lipid metabolism, insulin secretion, myocardial and skeletal muscle function, neurologic and immune function
Eryhtropoietic therapy resistance
> 495 pg/mL of hormone associated with
increased sudden death and morbidity and mortality
Corrected Ca X PO4 formula
(4-albumin) X 0.8 + Ca
Soft tissue calcification occurs when Corrected Ca is:
> 70 mg2/dL2
- Want to maintain below 55
Elevated Ca-PO4 is associated with:
Vascular calcification
CVD
Calciphylaxis
Death
Normal Ca =
8.5-10.5
Hypocalcemia
Less than 8.5
Acute hypocalcemia
Neuromuscular - tetany, muscle cramps, laryngeal spasm
CV - prolonged QT interval, decreased myocardial contractility
Chronic hypocalcemia
CNS- depression, anxiety, confusion
Derm - hair loss, groved and brtittle nails, exzema
Causes of hypocalcemia
Intensive care unit pt Elderly, malnourished pts Sodium phosphate as a bowl prep agent Vit D deficiency -ectomy Meds
**What meds causes hypocalcemia?
Bispphosphonates, calcitonin, furosemide, oral phoshporus therapy
Treatment for acute symptomatic hypocalcemia
100-300 mg elemental Ca IV over 5-10 minutes
(CaCl 1g or Cagluconate 2-3g)
Continyous infusion of 0.5-2mg/kg/hr
Calcium should not be infused faster than
60 mg per minutes or severe cardiac dysfunction and ventricular fibrillation
Asymptomatic hypocalcemia treatment
Oral 1-3g/d
Correct underlying cause (replace mg and Vit D)
