Phosphorus is found in many of the foods you eat. It works with calcium and vitamin D to keep bones healthy. Kidneys help keep the right balance of phosphorus.
When kidneys are not working well, phosphorus can build up in your blood and cause problems.
Too much phosphorus can cause:
- Weak bones
- Too much calcium in your blood
- Blockages in your heart and blood vessels
