What induces hyperphosphatemia?
Hypoparathyroidism - Leads to tissue calcification
26
What are the 4 primary causes of hyperphosphatemia?
1. Chronic renal failure 2. Hypoparathyroidism (low plasma PTH -> low PO3 urine -> high PO3 in plasma) 3. Vit D Intox (increased gut absorption and kidney reabsorption) 4. Acidosis (PO3 moves from cytosol to ECF to bind H)
