Mineral and bone metabolism Dr.F.Iranmanesh
Calcium,Physiologic chemistry • Distribution: • 5th most common element • Most prevalent cation in the body • Healthy adult contain 1-1.3kg of calcim,99% in the form of hydroxyapatite,1% in ECF & Soft tissue • Serum(Plasma) calcium exists in three forms: 1:Free(Ionized) #50% 2:Complex with anions #10% 3:Bound to plasma proteins#40%,Mostly Albumin,80%
Calcium binds to negatively Charged sites of proteins ,so dependent to PH & Protein cncentration. • Alkalosis :↑ binding so decreased free ca. • Acidosis : ↓Binding so Increased free ca. • [Ca++][pr--]/[Capr]=ĸ Hostings &Mclean 1939 • [Ca++]=ĸ[pr--]/[Capr]
Calcium Function • mineralization • Blood coagulation • Neural transmission • Maintenance of normal tone and excitabilityof • Skeletal and cardiac muscle. • Glandular synthesis and regulation of exocrine & endocrine glands. • Preservation of cell membrane integrity and permeability.
Calcium intake • Average dietary Intake : 600-800mg/Day • Recommended 1200 mg during preg.& Lactation and 800-1200 mg during childhood. • Ca absorption : Active transport in Duodenum and upper jejunum.(50%) • Increased in pregnancy, lactation and rapid growth and decreased with advanced ages. • Major stimulus of ca. absorption is vitamin D.
Absorption enhanced by Growth hormone,acidmedium,incresed protein intake. • Decreased with:Ca/phos ratio >2 • Phyticacid,Oxalate,Fattyacids,Cortisol, • Excessive alkalinity of intestinal contents.
Ca Excretion • Sweath:15-100mg/day • Major loss:Urine 100-200mg/day • Wide variation in intake has little effect on U.Excretion • Enhanced by: • Acidosis,hypercalcemia,phosphate deprivation and glucocorticoids. • DecresedbyPTH,Diuretics,VitaminD

Analytical techniques :Total Calcium • Clark and collip method • Today 3 methods: • 1)Colorimetric analysis • 2)Atomic absorption spectrometry(AAS) • 3)Indirect Potentiometry
Colorimetric • Metallochromatic indicators: • O-Cresolphthaleincomplexon(CPC) • Red color in alkaline solution. • Measured at 580nm. • Addition of 8 -hydroxyquinolone:↓Mg. • Arsenazo III ,Ca-indicator complex: • Measured at 650nm • High specificity at slightly acidic PH • Hemolysis ,lipemia,icterus,paraproteins and Mg intrfere with colorimetric methods.
Calcein forms fluorescent complex • Stimulates at 490nm & emits at 590nm • Titration of complex with EDTA • AAS is the reference method • Dilution with Lanthanum hydrochloride to reduce viscosity and interference • from proteins and organic and inorganic ions. • Ind.Potentiometry:An electrode selective for ca.measures a sample that is also measured against a Na selective electrode.
Analytical techniquesIonized calcium • Ion selective electrodes(ISE) • Accurate,precise,automatic determination of ionized(Free)Ca. • Consists of a membrane separating a reference solution (CaCl2,AgCl)and a reference electrode(Ag/AgCl or calomel) from the solution to be analyzed.
Reference intervalsTotal calcium • Total ca. in adults 8.8-10.3mg/dl(2.20-2.58mmol/L) • Serum is the preferred Specimen • Heparinized plasma is also acceptable. • Citrate,Oxalate,EDTA interfere with commonly used methods. • Hemolysis ,icterus,lipemia,paraproteins and Mg interfere with colorimetric methods. • Total ca.corrected for hypoalbuminemia=total ca(measured)+[(Normal Albumin-patient,sAlb.)x0.8] • Normal albumin=4.4
Reference intervalIonized calcium • 4.6-5.3mg/dl(1.16-1.32 mmol/L) • Whole blood,Heparinized plasma or serum are acceptable. • Specimens should be collected anaerbically and transported on ice and stored at 4⁰C to prevent loss of CO2 and glycolysis and stabilize PH.
Reference interval Urinary calcium • Varies with diet • Average 300mg/day • Urine collection with appropriate acidification to prevent calcium salt precipitation.(15 ml hydrochloric acid)
PhosphorusPhysiologic chemistry Adult body content :700mg 85% in Skeleton(Inorganic),15% in ECF & soft tissue(Organic) In blood,Plasma(Inorganic) ,cells (Organic) In serum ratio of H2PO4-:HPO4-- is pH dependent. 1:1 in acidosis,1:4 in pH 7.4,1:9 in alkalosis. Serum phosphorus 10% bound to proteins,35% complex with Na,calcium;Mg and 55% free. Only inorganic ph.is measured in routine.
Function • Skeleton • Intra & extracellular role. • Nucleic acid,phospholipid,phosphoproteins • ATP and NADP.In various enzyme systems(Adenylatecyclase) • Essential for normal muscle contractility,Neurologicfunction,Electrolyte transport and oxygen carrying by Hb.
Phosphorus homeostasis • Present in virtually all foods. • Average dietary intake 800- 1400 mg/day. • 60% -80% of intake is absorbed mainly by passive transport.Active transport stimulated by 1.25(OH)2D3 • Freely filtered in glomerulus. • >80% reabsorbed in proximal tubule and smaller in distal tubule. • Proximal transport:(Na-P cotransport)mainly regulated by ph.intake and PTH. • PTH inhibits Na-P Cotransport and causes phsphaturia.
