Q

3 ways PTH raises Ca levels

A
  • Ca resorption from bone (PO4 resorption at the same time)
  • increased 1-alpha hydroxylase in the kidney leading to formation of calcitriol so more GI abso of Ca
  • more renal Ca reabso (acts on luminal Ca channel in DCT)

25
Ca in PCT
passive reabsorption with favorable electrochem gradient
26
Ca in the loop of Henle
moves down electrochem gradient in tight junctions. favorable gradient bc lumen is positive bc K+ keeps being pumped out by ROMK even though Na-K-2Cl is pumping K in
27
where CaSR found other than PTH + fct
cells of TAL. if senses high Ca (in the blood), inhibits ROMK, Na-K-2Cl and impairs paracellular (tight junctions) reabso of Ca
28
condition where CaSR not working where + pathophgy
familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia. CaSR not working so always reabso of Ca in TAL + need higher Ca to suppress PTH
29
where is Ca reabso hormonally regulated and how
in DCT. decreases Ca excretion. (PTH and calcitriol)
30
only part of the nephron where Na and Ca are not coupled
DCT
31
why can become hyperCa when on thiazides
cause volume contraction so more Na and Ca reabso ''together'' proximally
32
how acid base balance influences Ca levels
acidosis increases Ca excretion (bc mobilizes it from bone. bone buffers H+) alkalosis decreases Ca excretion
33
common causes of hyperK
- primary hyperPTH - excess 1,25 D prod - excess Ca ingestion (or vit D) - malignancy - thiazides - familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
34
if see lab of high Ca, low PO4 and normal Cr, what's the likely dx
primary hyperPTH
35
if see lab of high Ca, Cr of 200, high PO4, normal PTH, + history of weight loss*** what's the likely dx
malignancy involving bones
36
4 symptoms of hypercalcemia
- confusion, lethargy - bone pain - kidney stones - poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain
37
normal response to hyperCa (4)
- less PTH - less calcitriol (via less PTH) - CaSR stimulation in kidney so less Ca reabso - more calcitonin
38
causes of hypoCa
- hypoPT - vit D deficiency - low Mg (Mg important for PTH release) - CKD (high phosphate and low calcitriol)
39
symptoms of hypoCa
- neuromuscular irritability - seizures - arrhythmias
40
normal response to hypoCa (3)
- more PTH - more calcitriol (via more PTH) - less CaSR stim in TAL so more paracellular reabso of Ca
41
what % of phosphate is protein bound
10%
42
2 factors in phosphate homeostasis and hormones acting on that
1. balance of PO4 abso (GI) and excretion by kidneys (PTH) | 2. distribution between ECF and ICF (PTH and calcitriol)
43
PO4 in PCT (% and mechanism) and what % in what parts of PCT
85% reabso in PCT (15% in more distal part of PCT/in TDL) | Na-PO4 cotransporter
44
3 factors regulating PO4 transport in the kidney
- plasma PO4 - PTH - FGF-23
45
how plasma PO4 regulates PO4 reabso
more PO4 filtered = less Na-PO4 cotransporter activity
46
how PTH regulates PO4 reabso
high PO4 leads to low Ca and low calcitriol. PTH is produced and PTH reduces the Na-PO4 cotransporter activity
47
Ca, PO4, calcitriol and PTH in CKD
high PO4, low calcitriol, high PTH, low Ca
48
causes of hyperPO4 with main one
renal failure**, rhabdomyolysis or lysis after chemo, hypoPTH
49
normal response to hyperPO4
- more PTH (so more excretion in PCT) (direct downregulation of Na-PO4 cotransporteR) - less calcitriol (less GI abso and bone resoprtion)
50
causes of hypoPO4 and main one
primary hyperPTH, Fanconi syndrome, GI loss** (typically), beta adrenergic stimulus causing ECF to ICF shift
51
Fanconi syndrome 2 types and def
congenital or acquired. patient has PCT dysfct (a.a, glucose, PO4, etc. waisted in urine)
52
normal response to hypoPO4
more calcitriol (more GI abso and bone resorption), less PTH (so more reabso).
53
Mg distribution in the body
60% bone 35% ICF and muscles 1% ECF
54
% Mg protein bound vs free
30% protein bound 70% free
55
renal handling of Mg (%)
30% PCT 60% TAL 5% DCT
56
main determinant of renal Mg excretion
plasma Mg concentration
57
Mg in the TAL
(same as Ca). favorable electrochem gradient bc positive lumen bc K keeps going back in lumen so Ca moves in in tight junction
58
in what condition can Mg bind to CaSR and how would that be useful
in hyperMg. would stop the electrochem gradient (same as in hyperCa) so Mg would stay in tubule
59
Mg in the distal tubule (% and mechanism: give exact channel name)
5% reabso in DCT. active transport via the TRPM6 channel. (meds can act on that)
60
causes of low plasma Mg
GI losses, renal losses (diuretics, diabetes, drugs that block Mg reabso in TAL or DT)
61
why diabetes associated with hypoMg (1/3 diabetes have it)
we don't know
62
what more important condition (electrolytes) associated with hypoMg
hypoCa (bc often cause of hypoMg will also cause hypoCa)
