Foszfátszintjének

Foszfátszintjének refers to the level of phosphate in a biological sample, most commonly measured in the blood. Phosphate is a crucial mineral in the human body, playing a vital role in bone and teeth formation, energy production (as a component of ATP), DNA and RNA synthesis, and maintaining cell membrane structure. It is also involved in acid-base balance.

Normal foszfátszintjének in adults typically ranges from 2.5 to 4.5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 0.81 to 1.45 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). However, these values can vary slightly depending on the laboratory performing the test.

Elevated foszfátszintjének, known as hyperphosphatemia, can be caused by several factors, including kidney disease (as the kidneys are responsible for excreting excess phosphate), hypoparathyroidism, certain medications, and excessive intake of phosphate-containing substances. Symptoms of hyperphosphatemia can include muscle cramps, bone pain, and itching, though it is often asymptomatic.

Low foszfátszintjének, called hypophosphatemia, can result from poor dietary intake, hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, certain medications, or conditions that cause increased phosphate utilization, such as severe burns or refeeding syndrome. Symptoms of hypophosphatemia can include muscle weakness, fatigue, confusion, and bone pain.

Monitoring foszfátszintjének is important for diagnosing and managing a variety of medical conditions, particularly those affecting kidney function, bone metabolism, and electrolyte balance. Treatment for abnormal phosphate levels focuses on addressing the underlying cause.
