Phosphorus level slightly high

2021-08-24 07:52:54
My phosphorus level in a blood test report came out to be 5.5, desired range is shown to be 2.5-4.5. Even the Vitamin came out to be 24.3. I am a Type 1 diabetic for 12 years now and have had thyroid also for the past 2 years. How dangerous is this high phosphorus level and what can be the cause of it and what to do ahead to fix this?
