Phosphorus disorders: Hypophosphatemic rickets

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Phosphorus is a critical element for skeletal development and maturation, as well as bone mineralization, cell membrane structure, nucleotide formation, and intracellular signaling. Phosphorus forms complexes with oxygen in living tissues to form anionic phosphate. Phosphate homeostasis in humans is largely maintained by the balance between parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23). Serum phosphorus is influenced by these hormones, as well as by dietary intake, acid-based changes in the blood, renal function, skeletal metabolism, and intestinal absorption.
