Hyperphosphatemia
Hyperphosphatemia Management by Nephrologists in Arizona
What Is Hyperphosphatemia?
Hyperphosphatemia, or high phosphorus, is a common and serious complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). When your kidneys are unable to filter out excess phosphorus from your diet, it can build up in your blood. This can lead to serious health issues, including weakened bones and heart problems. Our board-certified specialists provide a compassionate and streamlined approach to managing your phosphorus levels.
Understanding Your Phosphorus Levels
Managing phosphorus is vital for protecting your long-term health. Because symptoms of high phosphorus can be subtle, regular monitoring is essential. Our experts use a precise and timely approach to diagnosing and managing your levels, helping you avoid the complications from this imbalance.

Effective phosphorus management often combines dietary adjustments with medications, including phosphate binders. These medications work by binding to the phosphorus in your food, preventing your body from absorbing it. We provide advanced, coordinated support to ensure your treatment is tailored to your unique needs.
