In order to study further the adaptation of inorganic phsophate (Pi) reabsorption during phosphorus depletion, Pi transport was measured at three perfusate Pi concentrations in isolated perfused rat kidney preparations, utilizing synthetic albumin-containing cell-free perfusate. With elevation of the perfusate Pi, phosphaturia was significantly less, and absolute Pi reabsorption was significantly greater in kidneys derived from phosphorus-deprived rats than in organs from nondeprived counterparts. Prior parathyroidectomy did not affect the transport of Pi by the isolated kidney preparation. Increasing the perfusate Pi did not diminish hypercalciuria in kidneys from phosphorus-deprived rats. The results indicate that the adaptive response in Pi reabsorption during phosphorus deprivation can be demonstrated independently of the composition of fluid perfusing the kidney. The mechanism underlying the adaptation, however, remains unclarified.

In a double-blind controlled clinical study, 71 patients with recurrent calcium oxalate stones were divided into three treatment groups: those who received potassium acid phosphate, those who received an inert placebo, and those who received a low calcium diet only. Follow-up periods averaged 2.9 years. Although the mean urinary calcium level of the patients who received phosphate was reduced 33 per cent, their renal stone disease did not diminish. Mean urinary phosphorus increased 88 per cent with phosphate treatment but did not correlate with the decrease in urinary calcium, or with treatment success. The data did not suggest that phosphorus and its metabolites retard calcium oxalate crystallization in urine. No evidence appeared for an association of hypercalciuria with severe stone disease, or with a specific clinical or chemical response to phosphate therapy. Patients whose urinary calcium level fell more than 25 percent when dietary calcium was reduced may have excessive gastrointestinal calcium absorption, which appears to be associated with improved chemical response to phosphate therapy.

Vitamin D-dependent CaBP isolated from Rat renal cortex (rCaBP) was measured in phosphorus-depleted (OP) and control (C) Rats, either vitamin D-deficient (OD) or vitamin D-supplemented (1 or 10 i. u.). A low molecular weight fraction was isolated from renal cortex by "Sephadex G-100" chromatography and rCaBP activity quantitated by saturation analysis using a 45 Ca chelex assay. The results indicated that phosphorus deprivation resulted in the increase in the vitamin D-dependent rCaBP as well as in the intestinal CaBP. As a marked hypercalciuria was noted in all OP Rats and as the rCaBP activity was high in vitamin D-supplemented Rats and hardly detectable in vitamin D-deficient Rats, the implication of the rCaBP in the large hypercalciuria can be definitely ruled out. Furthermore when vitamin D-supplementation ranged from 1 to 10 i. u. vitamin D, while the serum calcium level was increasing a decrease could be noticed in the large hypercalciuria. This deserves to be related to the increase in rCaBP activity. The high CaBP activity probably resulting from the renal synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol stimulated by phosphorus-deprivation could represent the molecular basis of the calcium tubular reabsorption increased by vitamin D. Thus a vitamin D-dependent protein implicated in an ion-selective transport could be involved in the tubular calcium reabsorption as well as in the intestinal calcium absorption.

The elimination of calcium, phosphorus, hydroxyproline and nitrogen was studied in 127 patients with inflammatory joint diseases and )6 healthy controls for 4 days. On the third day, 186 mg of calcium was administered intravenously. Provoked hypercalciuria tests were made in 35 males, 116 females with rheumatiod arthritis (RA), 18 males with ankylosing spondylitis (ASp), 8 postinfectious arthritis (PA) and 18 healthy controls (C). In 120 patients comparison was made between the ratios of eliminated P/hydroxyproline, Ca/hydroxyproline and P/Ca with regards to the results obtained in healthy controls. The kinetics of 47Ca were studied in 7 males with ASp and 4 C. The ratios Ca/P in serum and P/Ca in urine were studied in the same patients and compared with 21 C. The results show that the bone symptomatology of PA manifests itself by elimination of elevated amounts of all of the indicators studied, especially phosphorus. In RA there may be considerable oscillations of flow of urine due to the perspiration of patients. RA differs from decompensated coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis in that the patients eliminate significantly less calcium and phosphorus. Corticosteroids stimulate the elimination of hydroxyproline. Younger patients with RA (25-44) show changes compatible with osteoporosis, older females (45-64) display changes similar to those seen in osteomalacia, the oldest female patient (65-84) appear to have insufficient binding capacity for calcium. The hyposthesis is proposed that at the disease onset RA is characterized by an extremely marked syndrome of osteopathy. ASp is characterized by significantly reduced elimination of hydraxyproline, higher metabolic pool of calcium, lower elimination of calcium in urine and faeces and lower accretion to bone.

Sham-operated and parathyroidectomized (PTX) rats were divided into two pair-fed groups, one on a normal mineral intake (0.5% Ca, 0.3% P), the other on a regimen low in phosphorus (0.5% Ca, 0.03% P). P depletion led to a drop in plasma P and urine P, a rise in plasma Ca and a marked rise in urine Ca, a drop in serum magnesium and a rise in urine Mg. The changes were more pronounced in the PTX animals, but final values were the same in both groups. Parallel bone-seeking isotope (85Sr, 177Lu, 237Np) studies in nonablated animals revealed an increase in the urinary nuclide output and in the urine/tibia ratio in P-deficient animals. Normal and primary bone osteocytes decreased and enlarged osteocytes increased as a result of P deficiency; osteoclasts and osteoblasts also increased. Bone composition showed a drop in ash content and a rise in water, with a light decrease in both Ca and P, and a corresponding rise in hydroxyproline and nitrogen in the P-deficient animals. The results are interpreted to mean that P-deficiency in the young growing rat leads to an increase in bone resorption which occurs also in the absence of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The fact that final values were similar in the control and PTX P-deficient animals suggests that steady-state regulation can also occur without PTH. Because P-deficiency leads to rapid hypercalcemia and rapid marked hypercalciuria, there may exist a mechanism for phosphate regulation which would then supersede Ca homeostasis. The change in serum and urine Mg levels may reflect a decrease in tubular Ca and Mg reabsorption associated with P-deficiency.

A study was undertaken to find our the biological profile of bone symptomatology of decompensated coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis. In a group of 77 patients and in 48 individual patients the levels of calcium, phosphorus, hydroxyproline and nitrogen were studied for four successive days. Calcium was administered by the intravenous route on the third day (186 mg). The results were compared to 16 healthy controls. Analysis was made with reference to the differences in sex, age, stature and anabolic therapy. The products eliminated were referred in absolute amounts to the body surface and to the period of 1 minute. 91 patients and 17 healthy controls were subjected to a provoked hypercalciuria test. Five patients were followed up in a 47Ca kinetic study and its result was compared to the content of Ca/P and P/Ca in serum and urine found in the same patients and in 21 healthy controls. The biological profile was also compared to a group of patients with gonarthrosis and varose deformity and to 127 patients with inflammatory joint diseases. From the results it is assumed that in women with decompensated coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis the syndrome of disease is a bone manifestation which affects the mineral bone substrate and particularly its calcium level. Phosphorus and the organic products of bone (nitrogen and hydroxyproline) of these patients are susceptible to intravenous administration of calcium. In women the metabolism of collagen appears to be more active than that seen in controls, and tends to resemble that of phosphorus. With its lower activity calcium tends to relate to noncollagenic products, such as osseomucoid (glycoprotein, proteoglycan) and osseoalbumoid. In accord with the findings, the patients show a higher miscible pool of calcium (47Ca), and its lower elimination (in urine and stools) and lower accretion to bone. There are a number of factors (sex, stature, age, clinical compensation of disease) that must be taken into consideration when evaluating the results.

Case report of a 18 year old boy with short stature, microceophaly, mental retardation and multiple dysmorphic signs. At the age of 9 years a severe generalised osteoporosis was discovered. A pathological fracture of the greenwoor type healed without proper callus formation. The osteoporosis persists without signs of either deterioration or improvement. The serum phosphorus is slightly decreased, while serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase and renal functions are normal. The main biochemical finding is a constant hyperclaciuria of 6-13 mg/kg/24 h, which can be corrected by treatment with oral sodium phosphate. No other chronic disease could be found which would explain the bone disease. The complex disease of this boy does not fit into the known pictures of osteogenesis imperfecta, idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis or of idiopathic hypercalciuria, and might therefore be another type of demineralising bone disease. It is suggested, that the cause might be an impairment of the calcium fixation of collagen fibres during desmal ossification.

The action of a single intraperitoneal injection of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) was investigated in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) vitamin D-deficient phosphate-depleted rats. After 14 h, plasma inorganic phosphorus (Pi) was significantly greater in animals receiving 1,25(OH)2D3 than in D-deficient controls, but urinary Pi excretion was very low in both groups and not significantly different in the rats given 1,25(OH)2D3. Clearance studies indicated that the D-deficient controls reabsorbed more than 99% of their filtered Pi. Avid Pi reabsorption continued even after the infusion of sufficient phosphate to raise the plasma and filtered Pi to approximately 3 times normal. Fractional calcium excretion (FECa) exceeded fractional sodium excretion (FENa) by severalfold, but FECa decreased strikingly during phosphate infusion. In animals that manifested a substantial elevation of plasma Pi after 1,25(OH)2D3, FECa was significantly less than in D-deficient controls. Therefore, the increase in plasma Pi following 1,25(OH)2D3 administration occurs independently of any effect on renal Pi reabsorption and may be responsible, at least in part, for the amelioration of hypercalciuria after 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment.

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for a prolonged period of time can be associated with bone pain and osteomalacia. We performed a study on the phosphorus/calcium metabolism and serum levels of osteocalcin (BGP), a protein proposed as constituting the bone turnover index in 31 patients receiving TPN (age 57 +/- 14 years, 22 males and 9 females) diagnosed as suffering from pathology of the digestive tract or geno-urinary pathology. The duration of the TPN was from 9.1 +/- 6.6 days (range 2-31 days). We observed and increase of FA (178 +/- 101 U/l), with a significant decrease of BGP (2.2 +/- 2.0 ng/ml vs. 3.7 +/- 1.3 ng/ml in controls; p less than 0.001). Serum levels of phosphorus and calcium corrected according to proteins were within normal limits. Hypercalciuria was detected in the urine (328 +/- 278 mg/24 hours), and phosphaturia (607 +/- 522 mg/24 hours). Based on the BGP results, we can conclude that patients subjected to TPN for a short period of time undergo a decrease in bone turnover.

In order to clarify the pathogenesis of hypercalciuria, the response to extrinsic human parathyroid hormone (h-PTH) was studied the 21 patients with calcium containing urinary stone(s) and 5 normal controls (NO). The stone patients were classified into 3 groups from the result of the oral calcium loading test, i.e. Non-hypercalciura (NH, n = 8) and absorptive hypercalciuria (AH, n = 8) and renal hypercalciuria (RH, n = 5). Only in the AH group, urinary excretion of calcium (u-Ca) was strongly correlated to that of sodium (u-Na) in pre-load of h-PTH, and both increments were also correlated in post-load of h-PTH. As of this fact the increase in Na excretion seems to be responsible for a cause of hypercalciuria in the AH group. There was a significant correlation between the value of %TRP in pre-load of h-PTH and the rate of urinary phosphorus (P) increment between pre-load and post-load of h-PTH in the NO and NH groups. However, this relationship was not found in the AH and RH groups. These findings indicate that there is response disorder of P to h-PTH. In addition, serum P was low, plasma 1,25 (OH)2D was high, N-c-AMP was low in the AH group, whereas both serum P and %TRP were low in the RH group in pre-load of h-PTH. These findings are compatible with the primary renal P leak.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
