  2. Hyperphosphatemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphosphatemia

    Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disorder in which there is an elevated level of phosphate in the blood. [1] Most people have no symptoms while others develop calcium deposits in the soft tissue. [1] The disorder is often accompanied by low calcium blood levels, which can result in muscle spasms. [1]

  3. Tumor lysis syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumor_lysis_syndrome

    Hyperphosphatemia causes acute kidney injury in tumor lysis syndrome, because of deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in the kidney parenchyma. [2] Hypocalcemia. Because of the hyperphosphatemia, calcium is precipitated to form calcium phosphate, leading to hypocalcemia. [2] Symptoms of hypocalcemia include (but are not limited to): [9] tetany

  4. Nephrocalcinosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephrocalcinosis

    Nephrocalcinosis is connected with conditions that cause hypercalcaemia, hyperphosphatemia, and the increased excretion of calcium, phosphate, and/or oxalate in the urine. A high urine pH can lead to nephrocalcinosis but only if it is accompanied by hypercalciuria and hypocitraturia , since having a normal urinary citrate usually inhibits the ...

  5. Vitamin D deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D_deficiency

    Mapping of several bone diseases onto levels of vitamin D (calcidiol) in the blood [6] Normal bone vs. osteoporosis. Vitamin D deficiency is typically diagnosed by measuring the concentration of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood, which is the most accurate measure of stores of vitamin D in the body.

    hypophosphatemia / hyperphosphatemia: Magnesium: 420/320 350; 250 Required for processing ATP and for bones Spinach, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, peanut butter, avocado [26] hypomagnesemia (magnesium deficiency) / hypermagnesemia: Iron: 8/18 45; NE: Required for many proteins and enzymes, notably hemoglobin to prevent anemia

  7. Hypocalcemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocalcemia

    Hypocalcemia is a medical condition characterized by low calcium levels in the blood serum. [5] The normal range of blood calcium is typically between 2.1–2.6 mmol/L (8.8–10.7 mg/dL, 4.3–5.2 mEq/L), while levels less than 2.1 mmol/L are defined as hypocalcemic.

  8. Renal osteodystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_osteodystrophy

    Renal osteodystrophy has been classically described to be the result of hyperparathyroidism secondary to hyperphosphatemia combined with hypocalcemia, both of which are due to decreased excretion of phosphate by the damaged kidney. [citation needed]

  9. Phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate

    The most common cause of hyperphosphatemia in people, dogs, and cats is kidney failure. In cases of hyperphosphatemia, limiting consumption of phosphate-rich foods, such as some meats and dairy items and foods with a high phosphate-to-protein ratio, such as soft drinks, fast food, processed foods, condiments, and other products containing ...
