A phosphorus test measures the amount of phosphorus in the blood, an essential mineral involved in various bodily functions. Phosphorus works in tandem with calcium to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It is also crucial for energy production, as it forms part of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that stores and releases energy in cells. Additionally, phosphorus plays a role in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, the regulation of acid-base balance, and the proper functioning of muscles and nerves. The test is often ordered to evaluate kidney function since the kidneys regulate phosphorus levels in the blood. It can help diagnose conditions like kidney disease, bone disorders, malnutrition, and issues with calcium metabolism. Monitoring phosphorus levels is particularly important for patients with chronic kidney disease or those undergoing dialysis.
