Calcium and phosphate have structural and nonstructural functions, and their concentrations in the extracellular compartment are affected by the physiologic status of the animal as well as diseases. Important progress in understanding calcium and phosphorus metabolism in healthy and diseased horses and foals has been made in recent years. For example, several studies have confirmed that hypocalcemia is frequent in horses with gastrointestinal disease and that calcium endocrine dysregulation is associated with survival in foals. One critical point in the homeostasis of these minerals is their interaction and interdependence with other ions, including potassium and magnesium. In this review, the author provides a clinical overview on disorders of calcium and phosphate in the horse.
钙和磷具有结构和非结构功能，它们在细胞外液中的浓度受动物生理状态以及疾病的影响。近年来，在了解健康和患病马匹及马驹的钙磷代谢方面取得了重要进展。例如，多项研究证实，患有胃肠道疾病的马匹经常出现低钙血症，并且钙内分泌失调与马驹的存活率相关。这些矿物质稳态的一个关键点是它们与其他离子（包括钾和镁）的相互作用和相互依存关系。在这篇综述中，作者提供了关于马匹钙磷紊乱的临床概述。
