What causes high Phosphate and low MCV?
High Phosphate and low MCV can be caused by many reasons.
If your Phosphate is in between 2.4 mg/dL and 4.5 mg/dL and your MCV is in between 83 fL and 101 fL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Phosphate and MCV 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
