Everything about Hyperphosphatemia totally explained
Hyperphosphatemia is an
electrolyte disturbance in which there's an abnormally elevated level of
phosphate in the
blood. Often,
calcium levels are lowered (
hypocalcemia) due to precipitation of phosphate with the calcium in tissues.
Causes
It can be caused by
hypoparathyroidism due to the lack of PTH effect of inhibiting renal reabsorption of phosophate. It is also commonly seen in
chronic renal failure. High phosphate levels can be avoided with
phosphate binders and dietary restriction of phosphate.
This can also be caused by taking oral sodium phosphate solutions prescribed for bowel prepration for colonoscopy in children.
Signs and symptoms
Signs and symptoms include ectopic calcification, secondary
hyperparathyroidism, and
renal osteodystrophy.
