due to decreased production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 causing decreased calcium absorption, hypocalcemia, and elevated PTH

79
Q

phosphorus and CKD

increased serum phosphorus bc can’t excrete it leading to calcium loss and increased PTH

80

need them all to qualify for transplant - give live sones prior to transplant bc can’t have it once on immunosuppressives

pheochromocytoma

87

next step if HTN cause is suspected to be renal

A

renal arteriography with differential central venous renin determination (ex: with renal artery stenosis renin levels will be higher in the vein of that kidney)
