Hypophosphatemia
Hypophosphatemia is a decrease in phosphorus in the blood below the usual level, a mineral that takes part in cellular energy, in bone health, and in numerous functions of the body.
Possible manifestations: When mild, it may cause no symptoms; in other cases, muscle weakness, tiredness, or discomfort in bones and joints may be noticed.
Common causes: It may be related to diet, to the absorption of nutrients, or to conditions that disrupt the balance of minerals in the body.
Which specialist treats it? The nutritionist provides guidance on aspects related to diet and mineral intake in this context. If you have been told about low phosphorus levels or you have unexplained weakness, it's worth having it checked by a professional.
