[Phospho-calcium and bone metabolism in hyperthyroidism in adults]. 1985

J D Lalau, and J L Sebert, and J Quichaud

The abnormalities of calcium-phosphorum metabolism observed in hyperthyroidism (tendency to hypercalcaemia with subsequent functional hypoparathyroidism, increase in serum alkaline phosphatase and in hydroxyprolinuria) essentially result from excessive mobilization of bone calcium and phosphates by the thyroid hormones themselves. Histomorphometric studies have shown that the skeletal repercussions of hyperthyroidism are almost constant. There is, in particular, excessive bone remodelling due to increased bone-forming and bone-resorbing cellular activities. However, since bone resorption is quantitatively more stimulated than bone formation, the physiological bone loss is accelerated and is only partly repaired by re-establishment of the normal thyroid function.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
