| phosphate |
A normal chemical in blood and urine. Usually associated with stone disease as an inhibitor although in some stones such as calcium phosphate or struvite it can increase stone risk. One of the important chemicals to measure in any metabolic workup. Low levels of phosphate in the blood will cause an increase in Vitamin D activation and subsequent increase in intestinal absorption of phosphate and calcium.
