Phosphate transport in the kidneys

  • Filtered freely at glomerulus
  • 80% reabsorbed in proximal tubule
  • Distal tubules 10%
  • 2-3% collecting ducts

regulation

  • PTH - ↑ excretion/ ↓ reabsorption at proximal tubule
  • vitamin D - ↑ reabsorption in distal tubule
  • acidosis, glucocorticoids, calcitonin - ↑ excretion
