• Certification:

  CE

• Storage Temperature:

  2 - 8 °C

• Notes:

  The majority of the body phosphorus is found in the bone as hydroxyapatite. The remainder of the phosphate is present as organic phosphate and phosphate esters. Phosphorus is involved in the intermediary metabolism of carbohydrates and is a component of other physiologically important substance. Thus, increased serum phosphorus may occur in hypervitaminosis, hypoparathyroidism, and renal failure. Reduced serum phosphorus levels are seen in rickets (vitamin D deficiency), hyperparathyroidism, and Fanconi's syndrome.
