BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Conclusions: Circulating levels of calcium and phosphorus are strongly linked to anemia in patients with advanced non-dialysis CKD.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chronic calcium deficiency can result in rickets, osteoporosis, and osteopenia, as well as disruptions in the metabolic rate and normal function of other bodily processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pseudohypocalcemia: Serum calcium is normally bound to proteins in the blood, most prominently albumin, and therefore low albumin states can give a falsely low total serum calcium level.

Detailed explanation-4: -In general, studies of whole diets and studies conducted over several weeks tend to show no effect of increased calcium intake on iron absorption. In addition, experimental studies of calcium and iron status measures such as serum ferritin show no long-term effect of calcium supplementation on iron status.
