Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hypoparathyroidism: In this situation, there are low levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH normally inhibits reabsorption of phosphate by the kidney. Therefore, without enough PTH there is more reabsorption of the phosphate leading to a high phosphate level in the blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Advanced chronic kidney disease. Hypoparathyroidism. Lower-than-normal blood pH (increased acids in the blood) because your lungs can’t remove all of the carbon dioxide your body produces (respiratory acidosis). Lower-than-normal blood pH for other reasons (metabolic acidosis). 14-Oct-2022
