Endocrine control and disturbances of calcium and phosphate metabolism in children.
Most disorders of extracellular calcium and phosphate metabolism in childhood can be attributed to primary increased or decreased secretion/action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and parathyroid hormone or primary increased or decreased urinary excretion of phosphate and calcium. Based on this pathogenetic classification the most important diseases related to calcium and phosphate metabolism will be discussed.
