Hypophosphatemia: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

Treatment for hypophosphatemia

The underlying cause of hypophosphatemia must be addressed in order to stabilize blood phosphate levels.

Treatment for mild to moderate hypophosphatemia typically involves oral phosphate replacement therapy (pills taken by mouth). To lower your phosphate levels, they might also suggest a diet rich in phosphorus. If hypophosphatemia is severe, phosphate replacement is given intravenously.
