The current reference interval for serum phosphate in adults is not sex adjusted. For adults, hypophosphatemia is defined as a serum phosphate concentration < 0.8 mmol/L or < 2.5 mg/dL (conversion ...

Excessive phosphate loading within the proximal tubular lumen has been proposed as a key mechanism driving progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through calcium phosphate microcrystallopathy.

Phosphorus is an important element, which is required for strengthening bones and for the normal functioning of cells & energy metabolism. Most of the phosphorous in the body (~90%) is present in the ...
