This document discusses the regulation of calcium and phosphorus balance in the body. It explains that calcium and phosphorus balance is principally maintained by parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D (calcitriol), and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). PTH and calcitriol increase calcium levels while calcitonin, estrogen, and glucocorticoids decrease calcium. FGF23, PTH, and calcitonin lower phosphate levels, while vitamin D helps raise phosphate levels. The document then provides more details on how each of these regulators impacts calcium and phosphorus absorption, reabsorption, excretion, and bone resorption/formation to maintain appropriate levels in extracellular fluid and plasma.
