Product details
Calcitriol, also known as calcitriol, is an active form of vitamin D and a hormone in the body. It plays an important role in regulating the concentration of blood calcium and blood phosphorus by increasing the absorption of calcium ions in the intestine and increasing the release of calcium in the bone to increase the blood calcium level. This study was first reported by Michael F. Holick in 1971.
Calcitriol works in many cases by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). For example, receptors in the cytoplasm of small intestinal epithelial cells that bind to calcitriol form ligand-receptor complexes that transfer to the nucleus as transcription factors that promote the expression of genes encoding calcitriol. Increased calcitriol causes cells to actively transport more calcium ions. Thus increase the calcium ion absorption level. Absorption of calcium ions at the same time in order to maintain electrical neutrality also need to transport anions, mainly to absorb inorganic phosphate ions, so calcium triol also promotes the absorption of phosphorus.
Clinically, this drug can be used to treat hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism (adult), osteomalacia, rickets (infant), chronic kidney disease, renal bone disease, osteoporosis, and prevent osteoporosis caused by glucocorticoid.
Uses and functions of Calcitriol.
Calcitriol is used for postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis, chronic renal failure, especially renal osteodystrophy in patients undergoing hemodialysis, postoperative parathyroidism, idiopathic parathyroidism, pseudoparathyroidism, vitamin D-dependent rickets and hypophosphoric vitamin D-resistant rickets.
