A member asked:

What is the normal value of phosphorus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal phosphorus: Serum phosphorus (p) is measured in milligrams of p per deciliter of blood (mg/dl). The normal range is generally 2.4 to 4.1 mg/dl and it varies slightly depending on your age. It’s natural for children to have higher p levels because they need more of this mineral to help their bones develop.
