Context: Circulating PTH concentrations increase with age. It is uncertain whether an age-related PTH increase occurs independent of changes in circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, phosphate, renal function, and ionized calcium.
Objective: The purpose of this article was to analyze the relationship between PTH and age, controlling for 25-hydroxyvitamin D, phosphate, renal function, and ionized calcium.
Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study analyzing the relationship between PTH and age in 2 independent datasets (laboratory 1, n = 17 275 and laboratory 2, n = 4878). We further analyzed subgroups after excluding participants with estimated glomerular filtration rate of <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or 25-hydroxyvitamin D of <50 nmol/L (for subgroups, n = 12 051 for laboratory 1 and 3473 for laboratory 2).
Results: After adjustment for sex, ionized calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, phosphate, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, each 10-year increase in age was associated with a 5.0% increase in PTH (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.4%-5.6%; P < .001) in laboratory 1 and a 4.2% increase in laboratory 2 (95% CI, 3.0%-5.4%; P < .001). In the subgroups, each 10-year increase in age was associated with a 6.1% increase in PTH (95% CI, 5.5%-6.8%; P < .001) in laboratory 1 and a 4.9% increase (95% CI 3.5%-6.2%; P < .001) in laboratory 2.
Conclusion: PTH concentrations increase with age, independent of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ionized calcium, phosphate, and renal function. Further research is required to explore the underlying mechanisms and clinical relevance and to determine whether the use of age-related PTH reference ranges improves diagnostic accuracy, particularly in elderly individuals.

Recent Updates and Advances in the Association Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Risk of Thrombotic Disease.

Vitamin D (VD) is a vital lipophilic secosteroid hormone known for its essential role in maintaining skeletal health and regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism. Recent evidence has begun to illuminate its significance beyond bone health, particularly in relation to thrombosis-a condition characterized by blood clot formation within the vascular system that can lead to serious cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. VD deficiency, defined as a plasma 25-hydroxyVD level below 25 nmol/L, affects a substantial portion of the global population, with prevalence rates ranging from 8% to 18%.

Study Question: Is serum phosphate linked with semen quality and reproductive hormones in infertile men?
Summary Answer: Hypophosphatemia is a frequent finding in infertile men and is associated with lower number of motile sperm.
What Is Known Already: Phosphate is available in fluid from all segments of the male reproductive tract in concentrations manyfold higher than in serum. However, the role of phosphate in male fertility is largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Vitamin D plays a role in Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD), particularly affecting secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and while cholecalciferol is recommended for vitamin D deficiency, its effects on CKD-MBD are not entirely clear.
- An observational study involved 22 HD patients with vitamin D levels between 30-50 ng/mL receiving cholecalciferol to boost their levels above 75 ng/mL, comparing baseline biochemical markers with those at higher vitamin D levels.
- The study found that 73% of participants achieved the target vitamin D level in about 7.5 weeks with a total dose of 525,000

Objectives: This study examined the comparability of venous and capillary blood samples with regard to routine chemistry analytes.
Methods: Venous and capillary blood samples were collected from adult patients to assess comparability of alanine transaminase, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, apolipoprotein B, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, calcium, chloride, creatin kinase, creatinine, C-reactive protein, ferritin, folic acid, free T4, gamma glutamyltransferase, glucose, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, iron, lipase, lipoprotein a, magnesium, phosphate, postassium, prostate specific antigen, sodium, total cholesterol, total protein, transferrin, triglycerides, thyroid stimulating hormone, urate, urea, vitamin B12 and 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3. Furthermore, hemolysis-icterus-lipemia Index (HIL-Index) was measured for all samples.

It was to investigate the clinical efficacy of the combination therapy of fluticasone propionate inhalation aerosol and vitamin D (VD) in pediatric bronchial asthma (BA) and analyze the correlation between serum 25-(OH)-D3 levels and immune function, as well as calcium-phosphorus metabolism. A total of 110 patients with BA were recruited. Regarding treatment plan, patients were randomly rolled into a single-drug treatment group (SDT, treated with fluticasone propionate inhalation aerosol alone) and a dual-drug treatment group (TDT, treated with the combination of fluticasone propionate inhalation aerosol and VD).
