Description:
Serum phosphorus (Phosphate) levels alone are of limited diagnostic value and should be correlated with serum calcium levels. An increased phosphorus with decreased calcium suggests either hypoparathyroidism or renal disease. A decreased phosphorus and an increased calcium suggests hyperparathyroidism�or sarcoidosis. When both calcium and phosphorus are decreased diagnostic considerations include malabsorption, vitamin�D deficiency and renal tubular acidosis. Increased phosphorus and normal or increased calcium suggests Milk-alkali syndrome or hypervitaminosis D.

Alternative Name(s): Phosphorus

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
