| Abstract: | Plasma calcium regulation in uranyl nitrate-treated dogs was studied. A discrete hypercalcemia was observed without significant changes in the level of plasma ionized calcium. Serum phosphate increased markedly following uranyl nitrate treatment. A sharp rise of iPTH was demonstrated. Uranyl nitrate-induced acute renal failure in dogs was found to be a useful model for studying the mechanisms regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism. |
