“ Dietary phosphorus also modifies the calciuretic effect of proteins, as it increases renal tubular reabsorption of calcium and thereby exerts a hypocalciuretic effect.”
“In rodents, an excess intake of dietary phosphorus combined with an inverse dietary calcium : phosphorus ratio (<1 : 1) contributes to renal calcification.”
“As dietary phosphorus was lowered from 0.55 to 0.4 g tP/100 g, the plasma concentration of inorganic phosphorus dropped and that of Ca++ increased at greater rates in LM pullets than in EM pullets.”
“Chickens fed a low‐phosphorus diet displayed a twofold increase in VDR mRNA, but those fed a low‐calcium diet exhibited a dramatic decrease in VDR mRNA.”
“Excess dietary phosphate produces progressive increase in calcium content of the kidney and also leads to progressive deterioration of renal function1–3.”

“Percent calcium retention varied with the level of dietary calcium and there was an indication that level of dietary phosphorus influenced calcium retention.”
