Assessing How the Body Responds to Increased Phosphate Intake, and How This Response Depends on Age and Sex.
Sponsor: University of Zurich
Summary
Kidney function declines with age and this could affect phosphate balance after an acute phosphate load (increased phosphate intake). In daily life, we regularly experience acute phosphate loads through our diet. The aim of this clinical study is to determine whether the body's response to increased phosphate intake changes with age and whether there are sex differences in this response.
