Extracellular fluid calcium concentration must be maintained within a narrow range in order
to sustain many biological functions, encompassing muscle contraction, blood coagulation …

Calcium is important not only as the major constituent of the skeleton but also as the major
ionic cytosolic messenger for a variety of biochemical and physiological processes. Calcium …

The kidney plays a pivotal role in regulating calcium levels within the body. Approximately
98% of the filtered calcium is reabsorbed in the nephron, and this process is tightly …

Calcium is critical for many metabolic functions. While 99% of body calcium is found as part
of the structure of bone and teeth, 1% found in plasma and body cells is crucial for such …

The kidneys play a key role in the integrated regulation of calcium homeostasis. Calcium
absorption takes place throughout the nephron. Proximal tubules, thick ascending limbs of …

Hypertension New insights in regulation of calcium homeostasis : Current Opinion in …

The genetic contribution to calcium metabolism is well recognized. Many of the proteins that
contribute to calcium homeostasis through intestinal absorption, bone deposition and …

METABOLISM of calcium and implications of its derangement in functional and structural
renal alterations offer an imposing challenge. Recent observations by the clinician …

In this review clinical abnormalities of renal calcium excretion will be examined against the
background of our present understanding of two interrelated areas:(1) the physiology of …

Calcium is an important ion in cell signaling, hormone regulation, and bone health. Its
regulation is complex and intimately connected to that of phosphate homeostasis. Both ions …
