Phosphorus - Serum
What does Phosphorus - Serum measure?
This test measures the level of phosphorus in the blood. Phosphorus is a mineral that supports bone and tooth health, energy production, and normal muscle and nerve function. It may be ordered to help evaluate mineral balance, kidney function, parathyroid-related conditions, nutritional concerns, or symptoms that may be linked to abnormal phosphorus levels. Results are interpreted along with other laboratory tests and clinical findings.
