Special Info

Fasting is required. Both serum and urine are required. Grossly hemolyzed specimens will be rejected. This test is New York state approved.

Clinical Info

This test is useful for assessing renal reabsorption of phosphorus in a variety of pathological conditions associated with hypophosphatemia including hypophosphatemic rickets, tumor-induced osteomalacia, and tumoral calcinosis. It is also useful for adjusting phosphate replacement therapy in severe deficiency states monitoring the renal tubular recovery from acquired Fanconi syndrome.
