The homeostasis of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)(2)D), and P(i)itself in the intestine, kidney, and bone in all the mammalian species studied. Determinations of the serum concentrations of PTH, 1,25(OH)(2)D and osteocalcin were done in 82 southern Romanian Landrace pigs originating from three herds with dietary P(i)deficiency. Serum P(i)concentrations were negatively correlated with those of 1,25(OH)(2)D. In lactating animals and sucklings, the linear relationships between P(i)and 1,25(OH)(2)D were not present. Serum P(i)concentrations were positively correlated with those of PTH. In lactating animals and young pigs, the linear relationships between P(i)and PTH were not evident. PTH and 1,25(OH)(2)D concentrations were negatively correlated. The serum concentrations of 1,25(OH)(2)D and osteocalcin were positively correlated. Milk P(i)concentrations ranging from 3.10 to 7.49 mmol/L were correlated positively with urinary P(i)concentrations ranging from 0.26 to 11.37 mmol/L. In conclusion, similarly to other species, P(i)homeostasis is achieved in pigs by feedback mechanisms between P(i), PTH and 1,25(OH)(2)D and osteocalcin production is induced by 1,25(OH)(2)D. The effect of lactation on P(i)homeostasis remains to be explored.

Introduction: Dysregulated vitamin D metabolism is one of the most important issues in chronic kidney disease- mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receive large amounts of calcitriol, i.e.

Introduction: Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) comprises a rare group of inherited diseases. Very recently, mutations in the dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) gene were identified in patients with an extremely rare autosomal recessive form of HR (ARHR). To date, very few cases of these mutations were reported.

Objective: Burn patients are at risk of hypovitaminosis D. Optimal vitamin D (VD) intakes are not defined in burn nutrition guidelines and studies mostly focused on ergocalciferol (VD2) supplementation in burn children. Aim of our study was to describe adult burns VD status, to measure effects of our cholecalciferol (VD3) supplementation on VD metabolism during acute burn care, and to assess correlation between FGF23 and C-reactive protein (CRP).

Objectives: In addition to its known effects on bone metabolism, vitamin D may regulate immune function.
Design: We performed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test whether cholecalciferol supplementation can improve vitamin D status and affect the T-cell phenotype in HIV-infected youth with vitamin D insufficiency.
Methods: Fifty-two HIV-infected patients aged 8 to 26 years and with serum 25(OH) D <30 ng/mL were randomized to receive orally vitamin D3 100,000 IU or placebo every 3 months for 4 doses.

A 78-year-old male was urgently admitted to our hospital because of consciousness disturbance. Laboratory data showed marked hypercalcemia (17.0 mg/dl), hypophosphatemia, low intact PTH level, high PTH relating peptide (PTHrP) level, normal osteocalcin and normal 1-25(OH)2D level.
