  • Title: Early skeletal effect of alkali therapy upon the osteomalacia of renal tubular acidosis.
    Author: Mautalen C, Montoreano R, Labarrere C.
    Journal: J Clin Endocrinol Metab; 1976 May; 42(5):875-81. PubMed ID: 1270579.
    Abstract:
    The administration of alkaline agents to a 16-year-old girl with severe renal tubular acidosis and osteomalacia caused an almost immediate rise of the urinary excretion of total hydroxyproline. The increment of the dyalizable fraction predominated over the nondyalizable component. Gradually serum phosphate and serum alkaline phosphatase increased whereas urinary calcium and magnesium and phosphate clearance declined. Serum PTH remained elevated throughout. We suggest that the correction of the metabolic acidosis might increase the transport of phosphate and calcium across the functional bone membrane leading to a rapid deposition of lime salts in the uncalcified matrix with a concomitant increase in bone collagen turnover.
