About this biomarker
Phosphate, or phosphorus in blood testing, is important for bones, energy transfer, and cell membranes. It is regulated by the kidneys and hormones.
Why it matters
Abnormal phosphate can reflect kidney disease, bone turnover, or hormone-related issues.
What lower levels may suggest
Low phosphate may be seen with malnutrition, vitamin D issues, certain hormone conditions, or shifts into cells.
What higher levels may suggest
High phosphate may be seen with kidney dysfunction, cell breakdown, or hormone-related disorders.
Common tests
