Phosphorus Metabolism Disorders

Phosphorus metabolism disorders disrupt the balance of phosphorus in the body, which is essential for healthy bones and teeth. Phosphorus works with calcium to form bone and is regulated by hormones like parathyroid hormone and vitamin D. When there is too much or too little phosphorus, it can lead to weak bones, joint pain, or other health issues. Conditions like kidney disease or hormonal imbalances can cause these disorders. Proper management includes dietary adjustments, medications, and monitoring to ensure bones remain strong and healthy.
