Phosphate Metabolism and Disorders

This educational lecture outlines the biochemical role and metabolic regulation of phosphorus, the second most prevalent mineral in the human body. The text details how phosphorus exists in organic and inorganic forms, primarily supporting bone structure, cellular energy production, and acid-base balance. It explains the complex homeostatic mechanisms involving the kidneys, intestines, and hormones like PTH and Vitamin D that maintain stable plasma levels. Significant focus is placed on clinical disorders, specifically hyperphosphatemia and hypophosphatemia, by identifying their triggers, symptoms, and diagnostic markers. Finally, the material provides management strategies for these imbalances, ranging from dietary changes to medical interventions like dialysis or supplementation.
