Phosphorus is one of the things you learn a lot about when in renal failure. Its something that the kidneys regulate in your body. And dialysis is not so good in removing it. Also it turns out most natural protein sources have phosphorus so it can build up in you. But the worst kind is the added phosphorus preservatives which takes the body no effort to absorb. And at this time, there is no requirements to disclose the amount on a nutritional label. SO a lot of it is guesswork. Typically high phosphorus is treated using binder which are medicines that absorb the phosphorus before your body does. Most of them have ancillary side effects though the recent varieties are getting much better.
