... Abstract A patient with combined deficiency of erythrocyte glucose phosphate. isomerase (GPI) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is presented. The propositus has persistent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. One of his two brothers exhibits the same rare enzymatic defect, but without...

... Abstract Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a regulator of phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis that carries out primary bone- and mineral-related physiological functions to increase renal phosphate excretion and reduce 1α-hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. In a negative endocrine...

... Abstract A direct and independent association between serum phosphate (P) levels and mortality has been reported. High circulating P concentrations, still within the normal range, was associated with unfavourable outcomes in normal subjects as well as in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients...

... Abstract The physiology of calcium and the other minerals involved in its metabolism is complex and intimately linked to the physiology of bone. Five principal humoral factors are involved in maintaining plasma concentrations of calcium, magnesium and phosphate and in coordinating the balance...

... Abstract Phosphate metabolism is critical to multiple systems and cellular functions. Disruption of any point in the pathways of phosphate metabolism may cause serum phosphate abnormalities and resultant acute or chronic clinical conditions. The study of phosphate disorders has revealed...

... Abstract The potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser emits green light that is avidly absorbed by both melanin and oxyhemoglobin. Although the pulsed dye laser was the original laser utilizing selective photothermolysis to target vascular lesions in the skin, the KTP laser has itself proven...

... and mortality. In patients with CKD stage 5 on dialysis, therapeutic approaches to reduce serum P levels should include restriction of dietary phosphate intake, optimal dialysis treatment, and use of P binders. In this context, the use of P binders appears to be an essential treatment to control P overload...

... Abstract The physiology of calcium and the other minerals involved in its metabolism is complex and intimately tied in with the physiology of bone. Five principal humoral factors are involved in maintaining plasma levels of calcium, magnesium and phosphate and coordinating the balance between...

... Abstract Phosphate is absorbed from the diet in the gut, stored as hydroxyapatite in the skeleton, and excreted with the urine. The balance between these compartments determines the circulating phosphate concentration. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has recently been discovered and is part...

... peritoneal dialysis (CPD) have phosphate levels above 5.5 mg%. The present study was designed to examine the relative contribution of ultrafiltration to phosphate removal in CPD patients. 24-hour dialysate collections were obtained in 28 CPD patients and the diffuse and ultrafiltration (UF) contributions...

... Abstract Abnormalities of bone mineral parameters (calcium, phosphate, vitamin D, and parathyroidhormone) are nearly omnipresent in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).These typically consist of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, abnormalities of vitamin D metabolism,and secondary...

... the progression of renal failure. Dietary phosphorus restriction must be prescribed atall stages of renal failure in adults. It may be achieved by decreasing protein intake and avoidingfoods rich in phosphorus. An average of 60-80% of the phosphorus intake is absorbed inthe gut in dialysis patients. If phosphate...

... of inorganic phosphate on direct induction ofextraskeletal mineralization of the tunica media in the vasculature of these patients. In peritonealdialysis patients, many unbalances of calcium and phosphate metabolism are present.In particular, recent cohort studies indicate that most patients do not reach...
