# Phosphorus

> This test measures the amount of phosphorus in your blood, a mineral that works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth. It helps show how well your kidneys are functioning and whether your body has the right balance of minerals for energy and nerve health. Doctors use this measurement to help identify issues like kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. However, this test cannot diagnose a specific disease by itself and is usually evaluated alongside other results.
