Calcium homeostasis is a complex process involving the following 4 key components: serum calcium, serum phosphate, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). (medscape.com)
The primary response to parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the kidney is to increase renal calcium resorption and phosphate excretion. (medscape.com)
In the kidney, parathyroid hormone (PTH) blocks reabsorption of phosphate in the proximal tubule while promoting calcium reabsorption in the ascending loop of Henle, distal tubule, and collecting tubule. (medscape.com)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) promotes absorption of calcium from the bone in 2 ways. (medscape.com)
When parathyroid hormone (PTH) binds to receptors on these cells, the osteocytic membrane pumps calcium ions from the bone fluid into the extracellular fluid. (medscape.com)
Compared to parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D exerts a much slower regulatory effect on calcium balance. (medscape.com)
The parathyroid glands help control calcium absorption, use, and removal by the body. (medlineplus.gov)
In both cases, the parathyroid glands become enlarged because vitamin D and calcium levels are too low. (medlineplus.gov)
After surgery, high calcium level may persist or return. (medlineplus.gov)
