What causes high Phosphorus and low Chloride?

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

If your Phosphorus is in between 2.5 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 Phosphorus 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 Phosphorus levels include:

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

Normal range of Phosphorus : 2.5 - 4.5 mg/dL

High Phosphorus and low Chloride can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Phosphorus and Chloride blood tests and the results are higher than 4.5 mg/dL for Phosphorus and lower than 98 mmol/L for Chloride, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
