A blood phosphorus test is indicated to see if there is a change, because a slight change in phosphorus will not cause symptoms, so a phosphorus test is often ordered if the patient has an abnormal calcium test or when there are symptoms. of fatigue, muscle weakness, bone disorders...1. What is a blood phosphate test?
Phosphate is a mineral that combines with several other substances to form inorganic and organic phosphorus compounds. Phosphorus or phosphate is often used interchangeably when doing the test, that is, the amount of inorganic phosphorus in the blood will be measured by a blood phosphorus test or possibly a blood phosphate test.A blood phosphorus test is indicated to see if there is a change (increase or decrease), because a slight change in phosphorus will not cause symptoms, so a phosphorus test is usually indicated if the patient has an abnormal calcium test. or when there are symptoms of fatigue, muscle weakness, bone disorders...
However, besides that, phosphorus testing can also be ordered with some other tests if the patient has signs of symptoms. signs of urinary or digestive disorders, diabetic patients, signs of acid-base imbalance in order to monitor blood phosphorus changes during treatment.

2. Clinical significance of blood phosphate test results
After a blood phosphate test measures phosphate, it is common for children to have higher phosphate levels than adults, which is because active bone growth in children occurs. The clinical results of blood phosphate testing methods are generally of 3 degrees as follows:Normal blood phosphate test results:
Normal values in each laboratory are often different. However, a value outside of the normal range the following can still be considered a normal result:
Blood phosphates in adults: 2.7 - 4.5 Milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL); 0.87 - 1.45 Millimoles per liter (mmol /L). Blood phosphates in children: 4.5 - 5.5 Milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL); 1.45 - 1.78 Millimoles per liter (mmol /L). Neonatal blood phosphates: 4.5 - 9.0 Milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL); 1.45 - 2.91 Millimoles per liter (mmol /L). High blood phosphate test results:
High blood phosphate results can be due to a tumor, eg lymphoma. Besides, this result can also be caused by kidney disease, hypothyroidism, broken bones,... Increased blood phosphate if there is too much vitamin D in the body. Low blood phosphate test result:
Low blood phosphate result can be due to hyperthyroidism, bone disease, vitamin D deficiency in the body and also kidney or liver disease. Severely malnourished or hungry if the blood phosphate level test is low People who regularly drink alcohol, have kidney disease also have low blood phosphate results

3. Some notes when testing blood phosphates
Blood phosphorus levels in children are often higher than in adults because their bones are growing strongly. If phosphorus levels are low in a child, bone growth may be limited. However, if this level is high, it could be a mineral imbalance in the child's body. Blood and urine phosphorus levels are affected if enemas or laxatives containing sodium phosphate are used. In the diet too much vitamin D or intravenous glucose infusion also causes an increase in blood phosphate levels. Phosphorus metabolism is often related to calcium metabolism, so if the patient has abnormal blood calcium levels, blood phosphorus levels should be checked. In short, hyperphosphatemia, if not treated promptly, will cause many dangerous health complications. For those who have a history of such underlying conditions, they should perform a blood phosphate test to accurately check whether they have hyperphosphatemia or not at a reputable hospital.
