High plasma uric acid (UA) is a precipitating factor for gout and renal calculi as well as a strong risk factor for Metabolic Syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Your bones and teeth contain most of your body's phosphorus. However, some phosphorous is in your blood. Hypophosphatemia is the opposite ? having too little phosphorus. Various conditions, including chronic alcohol use disorder and vitamin D deficiency, can cause your blood phosphorus level to become too low.
