LEC 7 - PHOSPHOROUS Flashcards
It is an important constituent in nucleic acid, phospholipid
and phosphoproteins,
PHOSPHORUS
phosphorus’s distribution
80% in the bone
20% in soft tissues
1% in plasma
phosphorous concentration is inversely related to
calcium
if the calcium is maximally absorbed in duodenum, what about phosphorus?
jejunum
role of phsphate in glucose and insulin processing
essential for the insulin-mediated entry of glucose into the cells by a process involving PHOSPHORYLATION of the glucose and the co entry of K+
in PHOSPHORUS we are determining __
phosphate
inorganic phosphorous is called
phosphates
Phosphorous
It forms high energy compounds such as ______and is involved in intermediary metabolism and
various enzyme systems
ATP
nucleic acid (dna and rna)
enzyme cofactors (NADPH)
lipids (phospholipids)
most phosphate in serum is in what form
inorganic form
It is essential for muscle contractility, neurologic function,
and electrolyte transport and oxygen-carrying by
hemoglobin.
PHOSPHORUS
is the primary factor that increase phosphate
Vitamin D
relationship of PTH to phosphate
inversely - PTH want calcium
hyperphosphatemia usual cause
Decrease renal excretion in acute and chronic renal failure
Increase intake with excessive oral, rectal, intravenous
administration.
hyper or hypo?
hyperphosphatemia
Increase extracellular load due to transcellular shift in acidosis in phosphate
hyperphosphatemia
Secondary to over medication with Vitamin D and
production of Vitamin by granulomatous tissue.
effect to phosphate
hyperphosphatemia
phosphate is usually seen in children ___
drinking cow’s milk
phosphate is usually seen in adult ___
taking laxatives
patients with lymphoblastic leukemia
hyperphosphatemia or hypo?
hyperphosphatemia
Hypoparathyroidism
hyperphosphatemia or hypo?
hyper
t is a condition characterized by a serum phosphorus
concentration below the lower limit of the reference interval
HYPOPHOSPHATEMIA
HYPOPHOSPHATEMIA can be seen in
o Alcohol abuse
o Intestinal loss due to vomiting, diarrhea, and use of phosphate binding antacids
o Induced by a shift of phosphorus from extracellular fluid into cells.
decreased intestinal absorption, as with vitamin D
deficiency or antacid use and steatorrhea
hyperphosphatemia or hypo?
hypo
Most of the current methods for phosphorus determination
involve the formation of an ____
ammonium
phosphomolybdate complex
