Slightly high phosphorus level of 5.7 mg/dL usually doesn't mean you have kidney disease if your other kidney tests are normal. This elevation is most likely due to dietary factors- like high phosphate additives in processed foods or colas, certain supplements, or hormonal imbalances like low parathyroid hormone or high vitamin D. Sometimes, the result is simply a laboratory error or a slight issue with the blood sample.
Next Steps
Recheck the phosphorus levels and confirm. Revisit your dietary patterns. Then check vitamin D levels and parathyroid hormone levels.
Health Tips
If your phosphorus is only a little high and you feel okay, you usually just need to change your diet and check it again in a week or two. Try to eat less processed food, skip cola and fizzy drinks, and don’t eat too much cheese or milk. Drink plenty of water — it helps your body get rid of the extra phosphorus.
