Mineral and Bone Metabolism

Mineral and Bone Metabolism | Internal medicine

How it begins

Expert and comprehensive reference on the physiology of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin D; laboratory and imaging diagnostic methods including densitometry and remodeling biomarkers; and the clinical diagnosis of the main syndromes: hypercalcemia, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, BMT-CKD and neoplasms with bone impact. Based on KDIGO 2017, NOF 2023, AACE/ACE 2020 and…
