General Information

Phosphorus is the second most common mineral in the human body after calcium. It represents 1% of body weight, which means that the adult human body has about 600-700 g of phosphorus. The largest amounts of phosphorus are found in skeletal bone (85% in the form of hydroxyapatite), the rest in the muscles, nerves and blood.

Phosphorus plays an extremely important role in bone formation as well as in maintaining skeletal strength. It acts in combination with calcium, which helps build bones. The right amount of calcium and phosphorus is needed for bone health.

When should we take the test?

  • Once every two years, in patients older than 50 years, for screening for osteoporosis (along with height and weight measurements);
  • Spontaneous fractures, bone pain, bone radiographic changes, growth disorder, dental changes;
  • Tumors (alkaline phosphatase is a tumor marker - used as a detector of liver and bone metastases);
  • Bone tissue pathology, bone diseases (e.g. Paget's disease);
  • Differential diagnostics of rickets and osteomalacia.

Possible interpretation of the results

Your body absorbs less phosphorus when calcium levels are too high, and vice versa. Vitamin D is also needed for the proper absorption of phosphorus.
