Popis: | HYPERCALCEMIA resulting from calcium mobilization may be accompanied by some elevation of the plasma concentration of citrate. Hypocalcemia is usually accompanied by a reduced plasma citrate value in the parathyroidectomized animal (1). Hypercalcemia produced by calcium chloride infusion for a short time (6 hours) did not elevate the citrate concentration (2). Hypercitricemia produced by the infusion of sodium citrate, nephrectomy or fluoroacetate administration is accompanied by an elevation of plasma concentration of calcium. There appears to be a relation between the serum concentration of calcium and citric acid. It is not apparent whether the degree of hypercitricemia is independent of the amount or mechanism of an endogenous hypercalcemia. It seems important to establish this point in determining whether or not the relation of calcium and citric acid is entirely dependent upon chemical affinity or is related in some other sense depending upon bodily mechanisms. |
