[Phosphorus-calcium metabolism in patients with malabsorption syndrome on diets with various ratios of calcium and phosphorus].

Phosphorus-calcium metabolism was studied in 74 patients with malabsorption syndrome that had developed as a result of chronic enteritis or after resection of the small intestine. The results of the treatment of 21 patients who received diets with Ca/P ratio--1:1.5 (bread enriched with Ca was included into the ration) have shown that dietotherapy led to the correction of the initial hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia.
