This paper reports a two tracers (45Ca for estimating calcium absorption and stable fluoride for assessing skeletal turnover), single blood sample procedure that estimates the absorption of calcium in climacteric women. The proposed technique determines the percentage (Ac) of the dose of 45Ca administered orally (in the fasting state, diluted with 150 ml of milk), present in the extracellular fluid (estimated as 15% of body wt) five hours after intake, corrected for skeletal turnover (assessed by the whole body retention of fluoride). In a series of 13 patients, Ac has been found to be operationally equivalent to the ratio: net Ca absorption/Ca intake, measured under balance conditions. The calcium balances of 60 climacteric women, estimated as: net Ca absorption (Ca intake factored by Ac) minus calciuria was found, as expected, to be correlated with skeletal turnover.
