Regulation of Ca, Mg, Pi Flashcards
Where is the majority of calcium in the body?
99% in bones
What is the percent filterability of calcium in a normal healthy person?
around 60%
What does hypoalbuminemia do to plasma Ca levels?
Increase Plasma Ca (less binding sites for Ca
What does hyperalbuminemia do to plasma Ca levels?
Decrease Plasma Ca
What does acidosis do to Plasma Ca levels?
Increased Plasma Ca
all the H+ are bound to albumin
What does alkalosis do to Plasma Ca levels?
decrease Plasma Ca levels (more are going to bind to albumin
What is a predisposer for hypocalcemic tetany?
Alkalosis
What are the effects of calcitriol on Ca and Pi?
Increase Plasma Ca+ and Pi
Increase reabsorption, resorption, absorption
What are the effects of calcitonin on Ca and Pi?
(regulate “tone”)
Decrease plasma Ca and Pi
Inhibit resorption
Promotes excretion
What are the effects of PTH on Ca and Pi?
Increase plasma Ca levels, but decrease plasma Pi levels
Increase Ca resorption, absorption, reabsorption
Decrease Pi reabsorption
What is the role of CaSR?
Monitor Ca levels by:
Inhibiting Ca reabsorption on apical membrane.
What receptor does calcitriol use to signal in the bone, intestines, and kidneys?
VDR (Vitamin D receptor)
What 3 conditions can be caused by excess PTH?
Hypercalcemia
Hypophosphatemia
Hypercholermic metabolic acidosis
What percent of Calcium is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule?
65-70%
Where does active transport of Ca occur?
Distal Tubule
What receptor is responsible for active transport of Ca in the distal tubule?
TRPV5
