Calcium kinetic investigations and their clinical use
1GSF-National Research Center for Environment and Health, Institute for Radiation Protection, Neuherberg, Germany.
Abstract:
Pool sizes and internal fluxes of minerals can be quantitatively determined by tracer-kinetic investigations and compartmental analysis. Investigations performed in 252 patients revealed characteristic patterns for calcium pools and fluxes with respect to disease. The method provides a useful diagnostic tool in the early detection of metabolic bone disorders and in problems of differential diagnostics.
