Hysteresis in the Relationship Between Serum Ionized Calcium and Intact Parathyroid Hormone during Recovery from Induced Hyper-and Hypocalcemia in Normal Humans*

Abstract: We have used an immunoradiometric assay for intact PTH in conjunction with calcium and citrate infusions to study whether levels of intact PTH are responsive to reversal of the direction of change in ionized calcium in normal humans. Eleven normal subjects received graded infusions of citrate or calcium on separate days to produce linear rates of decrease or increase in calcium. After discontinuation of the infusions, the return of calcium toward baseline was followed. Six subjects were given an infusion of ci… Show more

“…In contrast, PTH levels never fell below 20 pg/ml in our patients, which is clearly above the level of 10 pg/ml expected for the continuous tonic secretion of PTH [12,37], which suggests that the continuous tonic PTH secretion might be elevated in diabetic subjects. In adults, PTH levels are expected to rise steeply above 40 pg/ml at 25D levels below 50 nmol/L and above 50 pg/ml at 25 D levels below 25 nmol/L [27].…”

“…Second, hypocalcaemia was too mild to induce a rise in PTH in our patients. Physiologically the set-point in the inverse sigmoidal relationship between ionised calcium and PTH is around 1.22 mmol/L and PTH secretion reaches a plateau at ionised calcium concentrations below 1.15 mmol/L [37]. The concentration of ionised calcium in our patients, however, was mostly above 1.2 mmol/L and only three patients had values below 1.15 mmol/L.…”

“…In respiratory acidosis, the failure of ionized calcium values to continue to increase, and perhaps the lesser magnitude of calcium increase compared with metabolic acidosis, would seem to have allowed the stimulatory effect of respiratory acidosis on PTH secretion to prevail. Finally, the dynamic of an increasing ionized calcium concentration followed by a static level may also have contributed to the observed PTH response in the nonclamped group (5).…”

“…This fact could be explained by the hysteresis of the PTH -Ca 2+ curve. With respect to the PTH -Ca 2+ relationship, the term hysteresis indicates that for the same plasma Ca 2+ , the plasma PTH is lower during the acute induction of hypercalcemia than the acute recovery from hypercalcemia (27). Thus, in Group II rabbits, which have normal baseline Ca 2+ (1.70 mM) and are recovering from an acute hypercalcemia, the hysteresis of the PTH -Ca 2+ curve would increase PTH levels.…”
