What causes high Phosphate and low Chloride?

High Phosphate and low Chloride can be caused by many reasons.

If your Phosphate is in between 2.4 mg/dL and 4.5 mg/dL and your Chloride is in between 98 mmol/L and 107 mmol/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Phosphate and Chloride respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Phosphate levels include:

• Kidney failure
• Rickets and osteomalacia (due to vitamin D deficiencies)
• Diabetic ketoacidosis (after treatment)
• Increased blood calcium
• Liver disease

Normal range of Phosphate : 2.4 - 4.5 mg/dL
