Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is 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.

This can also be caused by taking oral sodium phosphate solutions prescribed for bowel preparation for colonoscopy in children.

Treatment

High phosphate levels can be avoided with phosphate binders and dietary restriction of phosphate.

Signs and symptoms

Signs and symptoms include ectopic calcification, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and renal osteodystrophy.
