MLAB 2401: Clinical Chemistry Keri Brophy-Martinez
Overview: Mineral and Bone Metabolism
2
Calcium Homeostasis Organs involved Origin Reservoir Small intestine
Skeleton Hydroxyapatite ( calcium+ phosphorus+ hydroxide) Kidneys Origin Diet Reservoir Bone
3
Forms of Calcium Bound to albumin–45% Free “ionized”–50%
Reversible process Binding is pH dependent Free “ionized”–50% Complexes with anions -5%
4
Ionized Calcium Free calcium in blood Tightly regulated
Biologically active form Advantage Not associated with proteins or anions
5
Functions of Calcium Nerve impulse transmission
Cofactor in certain enzymes Coagulation of blood Skeletal mineralization Preservation of cell membrane integrity and permeability
6
Regulation of Calcium Homeostasis
Parathyroid hormone- PTH Vitamin D3 Calcitonin
7
Parathyroid Hormone- PTH
Originates from the parathyroid gland Secretion based on levels of free calcium Activities/Roles Stimulation of osteoclastic bone reabsorption and release of calcium and phosphate from bone Stimulation of calcium reabsorption and inhibition of phosphate reabsorption from the renal tubules Stimulation of renal production of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3, which increase intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate
8
Regulation of Calcium Homeostasis
9
Vitamin D3/ Cholecalciferol
Synthesis occurs in skin, liver, kidneys Affects gut, bone, and parathyroid Actions/ Roles Increases plasma calcium and phosphate concentration by increasing the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gastrointestinal tract Increases bone resorption and enhances the effects of PTH in the nephron to promote renal tubular calcium reabsorption Stimulates osteoclasts to metabolize bone calcium
10
Physiology of vitamin D in the body.
Michal L. Melamed, and Ravi I. Thadhani CJASN 2012;7: ©2012 by American Society of Nephrology
11
Vitamin D: Where Does it Come From?
Sources of: Diet Animal tissues and products ( liver) Irradiated milk Sunlight
13
Sufficiency Of Vitamin D
Levels of vitamin D on the decline Sun avoidance/ use of sun screen Deficiency of vitamin D in the diet Obesity
14
Calcitonin Secreted by the thyroid gland
Secreted when blood calcium rises Inhibits PTH and Vitamin D Inhibits bone resorption, promotes bone formation
15
Phosphorous Origin Inverse relationship with Calcium Diet Bone
Phosphate ion is distributed equally. Intracellular Component of macromolecules Extracellular Inverse relationship with Calcium
16
Functions of Phosphorous
Component of bones & teeth Essential part of cell membranes Contributes to enzyme function Storage and transfer of energy Component of many compounds
17
Phosphorous Regulation
Kidneys Excrete or reabsorb Other factors PTH Increases renal excretion Vitamin D increases levels Phosphate absorption in intestine Phosphate reabsorption in kidneys Growth Hormone, calcitonin, acid-base status
18
Magnesium 2nd most abundant intracellular cation Location Origin
50-60% found in bone 40-50% muscle & soft tissue 1% in the RBC Origin Diet Nuts, hard water, meat, green vegetables, fish, dry cereal
19
Forms of Magnesium Free or ionized (~55%) Bound to proteins (~30%)
Complexed with phosphate, citrate and other ions (~15%)
20
Functions of Magnesium
Important co-factor in reactions using ATP Carbohydrate metabolism Muscle contraction Blood coagulation Membrane stabilization Nerve conduction Maintenance of potassium
21
Magnesium Regulation Primary regulatory factor
Amount of magnesium in the plasma Regulatory control Kidney Excrete or reabsorb magnesium depending on condition Parathyroid hormone Increases renal reabsorption Enhances absorption in intestines
