Disease/Condition Glossary
Hyperphosphatemia (high phosphate level in blood) is often a complication of chronic kidney disease. Phosphate is an important electrolyte it strengthens your bones, teeth and produces energy. When phosphate level increase in your blood due to kidney impairment (the kidney does not remove extra phosphate from the body) can cause muscle problems and increase your risk for weak bones, heart attacks and strokes. It is more common in people with chronic kidney disease and people on dialysis. Increased levels of serum phosphorus can also lead to hard deposits in the blood vessels (calcification). It can stiffen your blood vessels and make it harder for blood to be pumped whole the body organ. Symptoms of increased blood phosphorus include itchy skin, red eyes, bone pain and fractures.
