Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -PTH exerts direct effects on bone and kidney and indirect effects on the intestine through calcitriol. PTH increases synthesis of calcitriol by activating renal mitochondrial 1--hydroxylation of calcidiol derived from the circulation. Calcitriol, in turn, increases calcium absorption from the intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -PTH also helps control the levels of phosphorus (a mineral) and vitamin D (a hormone) in your blood and bones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Calcitriol is used to treat and prevent low levels of calcium and bone disease in patients whose kidneys or parathyroid glands (glands in the neck that release natural substances to control the amount of calcium in the blood) are not working normally.
