Additional Information
A phosphate blood test measures the amount of phosphate (an essential mineral) in your blood. Phosphate is primarily used by your body to build and repair bones and teeth, produce energy, and support muscle function. Phosphate is considered an electrolyte, alongside sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium. Electrolytes are substances that carry an electric charge when dissolved in bodily fluids, and phosphate plays an essential role in various physiological processes. Like other electrolytes, phosphate levels are closely regulated by the body, and imbalances can lead to health issues. For example, low phosphate levels may affect energy production and muscle function, while high phosphate levels, often due to kidney dysfunction, can lead to calcification in soft tissues and other complications.
