[The kidneys have a key role in phosphate homeostasis, with 3 hormones having important roles in renal phosphate handling: parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Independent of the genetic diseases affecting the FGF-23 pathway (such as hypophosphatemic rickets), hypophosphatemia is a frequent condition encountered in daily practice, and untreated critical hypophosphatemia can induce hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, respiratory failure, cardiac dysfunction, and neurologic impairment.].
