Phosphorus is a key mineral found in many foods and is important for several different functions in our body such as maintaining mineral balance. High levels of phosphorous - or hyperphosphatemia - can be a sign of kidney damage or chronic kidney disease. In this session, we will discuss the role of phosphorous, how the kidneys work to keep phosphorous levels normal, signs and symptoms of hyperphosphatemia and treatment options to keep your phosphorous levels at a healthy range through both diet and medication.
