Hi Lexilou,

Phosphate, phosphorous is a mineral that helps keep bones strong.Too much of it can cause weak bones and calcium deposits where you don't want them. It is common in later stages of CKD to have higher Phosphorous because the non-working kidney can not get rid of it properly and so it builds up. Here is an article on it:

Hi

If you are speaking about Alkaline Phosphatase this is a good explanation for you. Hope it helps.
