A blood test for phosphate measures this electrolyte that is needed for bone growth, energy, fighting infection, and proper muscle function. Most of the body's phosphate (about 85%) is found in bones. The rest of it is stored in tissues throughout the body.\nPhosphate and calcium levels are regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH). The amount of phosphate in the blood affects the level of calcium in the blood. For this reason, phosphate and calcium levels are usually measured at the same time.\n\nThe kidneys help control the amount of phosphate in the blood. If there is too much phosphate, the kidneys excrete the excess in the urine; if there is not enough phosphate, the kidneys reduce the amount excreted in the urine. An abnormally high level of phosphate in the blood is usually caused by a kidney problem that prevents the excess from being excreted into the urine.\n\nPhosphorus, which converts to phosphate in the body, is found in foods such as cereal, dairy products (such as milk and cheese), eggs, and meat. Adequate amounts of vitamin D are needed to help the body absorb phosphate and calcium.\n\nGreater-than-normal values MAY mean.....\nHigh phosphate levels may indicate kidney disease, underactive parathyroid glands (hypoparathyroidism), acromegaly, rhabdomyolysis, healing fractures, untreated diabetic ketoacidosis, or certain bone diseases. \nHigh phosphate levels may indicate excessive levels of vitamin D. \nHigh phosphate levels may occur with a decrease in magnesium levels. \nPhosphate levels increase during the last trimester of pregnancy. \nAbnormally high levels of phosphate in the blood usually do not cause any serious problems unless the condition continues for a long time. Phosphate levels that remain high can cause abnormal deposits of calcium and phosphate in the skin, blood vessels, and other tisssue.\n\nFactors that can interfere with your test and the accuracy of the results include:\n\nDrinking alcohol before the test. \nMedications that can increase phosphate levels. These include androgen hormones (such as fluoxymesterone and methyltestosterone), anabolic steroids (such as Hybolin Decanoate, Deca-Durabolin, Durabolin, Anadrol, Kabolin, Oxandrin, or Winstrol), and enemas that contain phosphate. \nExcessive intake of vitamin D. \nMedications that can decrease phosphate levels. These include some antacids, insulin, acetazolamide, and epinephrine. A large infusion of sugar (glucose) that causes insulin levels to increase can also decrease phosphate levels. \nHaving a rare disease in which the kidneys produce abnormally large amounts of urine (diabetes insipidus).

The liver contains many enzymes which are used to detoxify chemicals and useless compounds that are in to human body.  The names are not important, but that they are known is good enough for you to understand.\nIf your blood is tested and excessive amounts of any of these enzymes are found it usually means that the liver is damaged or is producing more of these enzymes that normal.\nAlcohol, hydrocarbons, drugs (including Tylenol) and other compounds can do this.  There are also diseases, usually called Hepatitis (but there are others) that can damage the liver tissue and allow the enzymes to be released.

Leukocytes are more commonly referred to as white blood cells. A high level of white blood cells can mean there is some type of infection in your body that they are trying to eradicate, or in extremely high levels that last for a long time, it can mean leukemia. Hope this helps.

if u mean TSH, this is you Thyroid Stimulating Hormone level.  77.3 would be an elevated level which indicates that your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroid) and causing more hormone to be released. This needs to be treated with thyroid hormone replacement.

They're not far enough out of range to worry about. I have 3 dfferent books with different sets of ranges. If the WBC was really high, that would indicate some type of infection. Platelets are a blood clotting factor. Bilirubin is a reference to liver function. High levels indicate that the old bloodcells are not being broken down and 'recycled' by the liver. In adults this shows up as hemolytic anemia and in newborns as jaundice.

<>In this disease, protein blocks the filtration system of the kidney.  The protein is being removed from the blood and once the filtering is blocked, the blood flow backs up.  Once the blood flow backs up in the kidney, it backs up throughout the blood vessel system; backed up blood flow creates higher pressure in the system, thus, high blood pressure.\n\nhttp://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/iganephropathy/

white cells high = infection or some diseases....bleeding where???  How would you know your platelet count is high?  Do you see clots???Are you a hemophiliac?  Do you take factor 8?  Do you mean your clotting times PT/PTT are too high???  not enough info

Enzyme levels are frequently measured in blood samples to determine if a person has had a heart attack.  Normally these enzymes are not present in the blood, but they are released into the blood stream as cardiac (heart) cells die as a result of the heart attack.  The cell bursts when it dies and spills the enzymes into the blood stream.  So when these enzymes are present, it means there has been cardiac cell death, and therefore a heart attack.
