title: Lack of effect of hypocalcemia on renal phosphate handling.
abstract: A possible effect of decreased plasma ionized calcium concentration on renal phosphate handling was investigated in dogs with control of parathyroid hormone. Intrarenal artery infusion of either EDTA or sodium citrate decreased ionized calcium concentration 25 per cent in renal vein blood but had no significant effect on fractional phosphate excretion. Similarly, intravenous infusion of chelators had no significant effect on fractional phosphate excretion. It is concluded that acute decreases in ionized calcium have no significant effect on the renal handling of phosphate.
