Regulation Of Ca/Pi/Mg & DSA Flashcards
What is the total plasma level of calcium
5 mEq/L
What is the biologically active form of Vit. D
Calcitrol
Calcitrol acts with PTH to do what
REBS Bone (stimulate osteoclasts)
This increases Ca and Pi plasma concentrations
What does Calcitrol do
Increases serum Ca and Pi
What does Calcitrol do in the intestine
Increases Ca absorption and Pi absorption
What does Calcitrol do in the kidney
Increases phosphate and Ca REBS
How does Calcitrol act
Through the VDR to increase serum C and Pi
What does calcitonin do to bone
Lowers serum calcium and Pi levels by inhibiting bone REBS and decreasing osteoclasts
What does calcitonin do to the kidney
Promotes renal excretion of Ca and Pi
Clacitonin opposes what
PTH
What is calcitonin stimulated by
Hypercalemia
What does PTH do overall
Increases serum Ca and decreases serum Pi
What does PTH do in the bone
Increases osteoclastic REBS
What does PTH do in the intestine
Increases Ca/Pi absorption via calcitrol production
What does PTH do in the kidney
Promotes REBS of Ca in the DCT
Decreases REBS of Pi in the PCT
Decreases the Na/H antiporter - leading to decreased Pi
Stops HCO3 REBS
Excessive PTH can lead to what
Hypercalcemia
Low Pi.
Metabolic acidosis
What is the role of the CaSR
Monitors Ca levels in the ThALoH
Inhibits Ca REBS when Plasma Ca levels are high
Blocks the NKCC2 which stops paracellular REBS of Ca.
It also blocks the excretion of recycled K, which can lead to relative hyperkalemia
Most of the Ca is REBS where
In the PCT
