Reference Values

TUBULAR REABSORPTION OF PHOSPHORUS

>80%

(Although, tubular reabsorption of phosphorus levels must be interpreted in light of the prevailing plasma phosphorus and glomerular filtration rate.)

 

TUBULAR MAXIMUM PHOSPHORUS REABSORPTION/GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE (TmP/GFR)

2.6-4.4 mg/dL (0.80-1.35 mmol/L)

 

PHOSPHORUS (INORGANIC)

Males

1-4 years: 4.3-5.4 mg/dL

5-13 years: 3.7-5.4 mg/dL

14-15 years: 3.5-5.3 mg/dL

16-17 years: 3.1-4.7 mg/dL

≥18 years: 2.5-4.5 mg/dL

Reference values have not been established for patients that are <12 months of age.

Females

1-7 years: 4.3-5.4 mg/dL

8-13 years: 4.0-5.2 mg/dL

14-15 years: 3.5-4.9 mg/dL

16-17 years: 3.1-4.7 mg/dL

≥18 years: 2.5-4.5 mg/dL

Reference values have not been established for patients that are <12 months of age.

 

PHOSPHORUS, Random Urine

No established reference values

 

Random urine phosphorus may be interpreted in conjunction with serum phosphorus, using both values to calculate fractional excretion of phosphorus.

 

The calculation for fractional excretion (FE) of phosphorus (P) is

FE(P)= ([P(urine)XCreat(serum)]/[P(serum)XCreat(urine)]) X 100

 

CREATININE Serum

Females(1)

0-11 months: 0.17-0.42 mg/dL

1-5 years: 0.19-0.49 mg/dL

6-10 years: 0.26-0.61 mg/dL

11-15 years: 0.35-0.86 mg/dL

> or=16 years: 0.59-1.04 mg/dL 

 

CREATININE, Random Urine

16-326 mg/dL

Reference values have not been established for patients who are less than 18 years of age.

Method Description

Creatinine is performed by the enzymatic method, which is based on the determination of sarcosine from creatinine with the aid of creatininase, creatinase, and sarcosine oxidase. The liberated hydrogen peroxide is measured via a modified Trinder reaction using a colorimetric indicator. Optimization of the buffer system and the colorimetric indicator enables the creatinine concentration to be quantified both precisely and specifically.(Package insert: Creatinine plus ver 2. Roche Diagnostics; V15.0 03/2019)

 

Inorganic phosphate forms an ammonium phosphomolybdate complex with ammonium molybdate in the presence of sulfuric acid. The concentration of phosphomolybdate formed is directly proportional to the inorganic phosphate concentration and is measures photometrically.(Package insert: Phosphate (Inorganic) ver 2.
