Abstract

High serum phosphate levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population, and greater dietary intake may lead to higher serum phosphate. Urinary phosphate excretion is a marker of intestinal phosphate absorption and may be used as a marker of phosphate homeostasis. Studies have reported good agreement between 24-hour urinary phosphate and spot urine phosphate to creatinine ratio (uPiCr), the latter may prove to be a more practical alternative to 24-hour urine collections.
