Detailed explanation-1: -Parathyroid hormone decreases phosphate reabsorption at the proximal convoluted tubule. Phosphate ions in the serum form salts with calcium that are insoluble, resulting in decreased plasma calcium. The reduction of phosphate ions, therefore, results in more ionized calcium in the blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -When you have high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in your blood, it causes you to have high levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia) and low levels of phosphorous in your blood (hypophosphatemia), which cause certain symptoms and health conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The parathyroid hormone stimulates the following functions: Release of calcium by bones into the bloodstream. Absorption of calcium from food by the intestines. Conservation of calcium by the kidneys.
