Quantitative relationship between serum Ca and inorganic phosphate concentrations in uremic patients. 1978

M Nagasaka, and K Honda, and T Kinouchi

Sixty four blood samples from 28 uremic patients were analyzed for total calcium (Ca), inorganic phosphate (P), total protein (TP), and albumin in the serum. In these patients Ca had no significant correlation with either TP or albumin as was generally postulated, but showed significant correlation only with P. The regression analysis revealed that the residuals were of the same order of magnitude in both linear and non-linear formation. It was also found that the product, CaxP, increased along with BUN in uremic patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010710 Phosphates Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid. Inorganic Phosphate,Phosphates, Inorganic,Inorganic Phosphates,Orthophosphate,Phosphate,Phosphate, Inorganic
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.

D012709 Serum Albumin A major protein in the BLOOD. It is important in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure and transporting large organic molecules. Plasma Albumin,Albumin, Serum
D014511 Uremia A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms. Uremias
