The Phosphorus, Serum test measures the amount of phosphorus (phosphate) in your blood. Phosphorus is an essential mineral that works closely with calcium and vitamin D to build and maintain healthy bones and teeth. It also plays an important role in energy production, muscle function, nerve signaling, and cell repair. This test is commonly used to evaluate kidney function, bone disorders, parathyroid gland disorders, and conditions that affect the body's mineral balance. It may also be recommended for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), vitamin D deficiency, or symptoms of abnormal phosphorus levels.
