Renal tubular maximum reabsorptive capacity for phosphate in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before and after operation. 1986

P D Broulik, and V Pacovský

A determination was made of the renal tubular maximum reabsorptive capacity for phosphate (expressed as a function of the glomerular filtrate) in 33 patients with primary hypercalcaemic hyperparathyroidism and 30 control normal subjects. The difference between patients and controls for the maximum renal tubular reabsorptive capacity for phosphate (patients 0.526 +/- 0.16 mmol/l, controls 1.010 +/- 0.14 mmol/l) was highly significant (p less than 0.001). Successful removal of a single parathyroid adenoma in 19 patients was associated with a highly significant rise in the renal tubular maximum reabsorptive capacity for phosphate (1.005 +/- 0.21 mmol/l, p less than 0.001). We did not find any correlation between the renal tubular maximum reabsorptive capacity for phosphate and serum immunoreactive PTH level. Low renal tubular maximum reabsorptive capacity for phosphate in the presence of hypercalcaemia is highly suggestive of primary hyperparathyroidism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006961 Hyperparathyroidism A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D010758 Phosphorus A non-metal element that has the atomic symbol P, atomic number 15, and atomic weight 31. It is an essential element that takes part in a broad variety of biochemical reactions.

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.
