Abstract

Studies on the role of calcium in physiology and pathogenesis of various kinds of diseases have made tremendous progress in recent years. Basic and clinical medicines have close relationships to each other. Pathogenesis of symptoms and signs in clinical medicine has relationships with calcium in various ways. Clinicians ask what are the mechanism of diseases, how to diagnose them and how to treat them. Responses of basic scientists are accepted by clinicians and again new questions are raised. Abnormalities of calcium metabolism have been classified in various ways but the recent progress in the understanding of the role of calcium has necessitated repeated revisions of the method of classification. There have been many contributions to studies on calcium physiology and diseases. The first monumental achievement was done by Albright and Reifenstein [1], followed by Fourman [2], Danowski [3], Jackson [4] and others, especially from the clinical standpoint.
