Recent advances in calcium metabolism. II. Disorders of calcium homeostasis

A W Root et al. J Pediatr. 1976 Feb.

Abstract

Abnormalities of calcium and mineral metabolism are described in relation to the differential diagnosis, clinical characteristics, diagnostic procedures, and treatment of infants and children with hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, rickets, chronic renal insufficiency, and other disorders of calcium metabolism. Understanding of the basic pathogenesis of each abnormality of calcium homeostasis is essential for the rational management of affected patients.
