PHOSPHATE Flashcards
Found everywhere in the living cell
The body contains about [?] of phosphorus in the form of phosphate
20 mol (260 g)
Intracellular phosphate can be either:
Organic: macromolecules (like carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids)
Inorganic: participates in high energy transfer reactions
: macromolecules (like carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids)
Organic
: participates in high energy transfer reactions
Inorganic
Requiring [?]
Ex. Redox reaction
ATP (source for most biochem rx) and ADP
In bone: inorganic form
The majority of the extracellular phosphate (?) is inorganic form and acts as part of the hydroxyapatite.
85%
In blood: inorganic form
[?]: bound to protein (non-filtratable)
The rest are complexed & free forms (ultrafiltrable) – can pass through the glomerulus
15%
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
Hypophosphatemia
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Hypophosphatemia
Malignancy
Hypophosphatemia
Increased renal excretion:
- hyperparathyroidism
Hypophosphatemia
Decreased intestinal absorption:
- Vit. D deficiency
- antacid use
Hypophosphatemia
Acute or chronic renal failure – most common
Hyperphosphatemia
Increased intake of PO4: among neonates w/ cow’s milk or laxatives
Hyperphosphatemia
Increased release of cellular PO4
Hyperphosphatemia
Severe infections
Hyperphosphatemia
Intensive exercise
Hyperphosphatemia
Neoplastic disorders
Hyperphosphatemia
Intravascular hemolysis
Hyperphosphatemia
Lymphoblastic leukemia
Hyperphosphatemia
