What is A high PTH levels affects which of the following processes to return plasma calcium levels toward normal? and explain in detail?
PTH acts directly on bone to increase bone resorption and mobilize Ca2+. In addition to increasing plasma Ca2+, PTH increases phosphate excretion in the urine and thereby suppresses plasma phosphate levels. PTH also increases reabsorption of Ca2+ in the distal tubules, although Ca2+ excretion in the urine is often increased in hyperparathyroidism because the increase in the load of filtered calcium overwhelms the effect on reabsorption. PTH also increases the formation of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, and this increases Ca2+ absorption from the intestine. On a longer time scale, PTH stimulates both osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
