E83.38: Other disorders of phosphorus metabolism and phosphatases
Your phosphate metabolism has changed.
Phosphate is important for various functions in the body. Phosphate, for example, is required for the formation of bones and teeth. Phosphate also helps to provide energy for the body.
If the phosphate metabolism is altered, then one may have, for example, too much or too little phosphate in the body. An altered phosphate metabolism can be congenital or be caused by other conditions.
