Renal control of extracellular calcium

Calcium is important not only as the major constituent of the skeleton but also as the major ionic cytosolic messenger for a variety of biochemical and physiological processes. Calcium homeostasis is maintained by the integrated activity of the gut, bone, and the kidneys. The present discussion summ...

Zusammenfassung:	Calcium is important not only as the major constituent of the skeleton but also as the major ionic cytosolic messenger for a variety of biochemical and physiological processes. Calcium homeostasis is maintained by the integrated activity of the gut, bone, and the kidneys. The present discussion summarizes the role of the kidneys in the maintenance of extracellular calcium.
