Clinical disorders of phosphorus metabolism

Review

Clinical disorders of phosphorus metabolism

G C Yu et al. West J Med. 1987 Nov.

Abstract

Deranged phosphorus metabolism is commonly encountered in clinical medicine. Disturbances in phosphate intake, excretion and transcellular shift account for the abnormal serum levels. As a result of the essential role played by phosphate in intracellular metabolism, the clinical manifestations of hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphatemia are extensive. An understanding of the pathophysiology of various phosphate disorders is helpful in guiding therapeutic decisions.
