Pocket Guide to Understanding Phosphorus
High phosphorus may be related to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidneys filter excess phosphorus from your body to keep the blood level in a ‘normal range’. However, if your kidneys are not working properly, too much phosphorus will remain in your blood. Other conditions that may cause high phosphorus include hypoparathyroidism, diabetic ketoacidosis and injuries associated with muscle or cell damage.
