What tests are run to determine cause of low phospate?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Doctor can evaluate: A primary care doctor can evaluate to see why phosphate might be low. Usually, the first thing to do is repeat the comprehensive chemistry panel, including the phosphate. It might turn out normal on the repeat test. The patient's dietary intake and alcohol intake is important. Other lab tests include looking at parathyroid hormones and vitamin d.

How low?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, had you provided the actual result. What you perceive to be low may be your normal.
