Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) significantly affects calcium-phosphate metabolism in kidneys, and it is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM) due to its expression in pancreatic β-cells. The role of CaSR as one of the players in pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been speculated.
