Calcium-phosphate metabolism parameters and erythrocyte Ca(2+) concentration in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease patients with normal renal function.

Introduction The aim of this study was to assess calcium-phosphate metabolism of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients with a special consideration to the following serum parameters: calcium (Ca2+), inorganic phosphate (Pi), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and intracellular erythrocyte calcium ([Ca2+]i) concentrations.
