Study Notes
Hyperphosphatemia
- Elevated level of phosphate in the blood, an electrolyte disorder
Major Causes
- Hypoparathyroidism
- Renal failure
- Acute metabolic acidosis
- Addison's disease
Risks and Outcomes
- Major risk factor for death, cardiovascular events, and vascular calcification in patients with and without kidney disease
- Direct effect of phosphate on vascular calcification, leading to adverse outcomes
Mechanisms of Hyperphosphatemia
- Reduced glomerular filtration rate
- Inadequate dialysis
- Nonadherence to dietary restriction or dialysis regimen
- Direct vascular injury:
- Vascular calcification
- Endothelial dysfunction
- Oxidative stress
- Increased fibroblast growth factor 23 through unknown mechanisms
- Inhibition of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D synthesis, leading to:
- Decreased cardiac contractility
- Coronary artery calcification
- Myocardial fibrosis
- Proinflammatory effects
- Increased parathyroid hormone, leading to:
- Proinflammatory effects
- Increased interleukin-6
- Impaired myocardial energy production
