  2. Parathyroid hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_hormone

    Parathyroid hormone (PTH), also called parathormone or parathyrin, is a peptide hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that regulates the serum calcium concentration through its effects on bone, kidney, and intestine. [5] PTH influences bone remodeling, which is an ongoing process in which bone tissue is alternately resorbed and rebuilt over

  3. Calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

    The plasma total calcium concentration is in the range of 2.2–2.6 mmol/L (9–10.5 mg/dL), and the normal ionized calcium is 1.3–1.5 mmol/L (4.5–5.6 mg/dL). [4] The amount of total calcium in the blood varies with the level of plasma albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma, and therefore the main carrier of protein-bound calcium in the blood.

  4. Hyperphosphatemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphosphatemia

    PTH normally inhibits reabsorption of phosphate by the kidney. Therefore, without enough PTH there is more reabsorption of the phosphate leading to a high phosphate level in the blood. [citation needed] Chronic kidney failure: When the kidneys are not working well, there will be increased phosphate retention. [citation needed]

  5. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_physiology

    Diagram showing the basic physiologic mechanisms of the kidney. The kidney's ability to perform many of its functions depends on the three fundamental functions of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, whose sum is called renal clearance or renal excretion. That is: Urinary excretion rate = Filtration rate – Reabsorption rate + Secretion ...

  6. Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism

    The diagnosis is based on the presence of the Albright hereditary osteodystrophy pseudotype but without the PTH resistance. Blood tests including calcium, phosphate, and PTH will exclude other forms of pseudohypoparathyroidism. X-rays may reveal a short fourth metacarpal. Genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis by showing GNAS gene mutation. [1]

  7. Parathyroid hormone receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_hormone_receptor

    parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) is the classical PTH receptor, is expressed in high levels in bone and kidney and regulates calcium ion homeostasis through activation of adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C. [2] [3] parathyroid hormone 2 receptor (PTH2R) is expressed primarily in the central nervous system, pancreas, testis, and ...

  8. Parathyroid hormone-related protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_hormone...

    Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a proteinaceous hormone and a member of the parathyroid hormone family secreted by mesenchymal stem cells.It is occasionally secreted by cancer cells (for example, breast cancer, certain types of lung cancer including squamous-cell lung carcinoma).

  9. Homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis

    High PTH concentrations cause the excretion of phosphate ions via the urine. Since phosphates combine with calcium ions to form insoluble salts (see also bone mineral), a decrease in the level of phosphates in the blood, releases free calcium ions into the plasma ionized calcium pool. PTH has a second action on the kidneys.
