What causes high Phosphorus and low Vitamin D?

high Phosphorus

High Phosphorus and low Vitamin D can be caused by many reasons.

If your Phosphorus is in between 2.5 mg/dL and 4.5 mg/dL and your Vitamin D is in between 75 nmol/L and 250 nmol/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Phosphorus and Vitamin D 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
