Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an abnormally elevated level of phosphate in the blood. Often, calcium levels are lowered (hypocalcemia) due to precipitation of phosphate with the calcium in tissues. Average phosphorus levels should be between 0.81 mmol/L and 1.45 mmol/L. ==Signs and symptoms== Signs and symptoms ... Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperphosphatemia
Hyperphosphatemia: A higher than normal blood level of phosphate. Phosphate molecules are particularly important as part of larger molecules in cell energy cycles. Higher than normal levels can be caused by ingestion of phosphate-rich foods, such as dairy products, or by kidney failure. Found on http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=3843
