This document discusses calcium homeostasis and disorders related to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
PTH regulates calcium levels by acting on bone, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and shifting calcium. Low PTH can cause hypocalcemia due to decreased PTH secretion or PTH resistance. Disorders related to low PTH include hypoparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism, and renal failure; high PTH is seen in primary hyperparathyroidism.
