Phosphate is an integral part of human cellular structure and function. Though most recognised disorders of phosphaturia are genetic in origin, phosphate loss due to acquired conditions is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Acquired hypophosphatemia is most commonly due to renal phosphate wasting and can produce significant morbidity. It also heralds future kidney damage, and continued exposure can lead to progressive kidney injury and potentially renal failure. These conditions are a diverse group of disorders with common shared mechanisms causing loss of phosphate in the urine. Renal phosphate loss can occur as an isolated entity or as a part of generalised proximal tubular dysfunction, i.e., Fanconi's syndrome. An insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms of acquired phosphaturia can help clinicians monitor their patients better and avoid potential harms.

Dysregulated FGF23 production is a demonstrated cause of hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia. Diseases associated with these conditions include phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) causing tumor induced osteomalacia, various forms of rickets, and fibrous dysplasia (FD). Coexistence of 2 conditions that can increase FGF23 concentrations is rare.

Fanconi syndrome is a disorder of renal proximal tubule transport characterized by metabolic acidosis, amino aciduria, glucosuria, and phosphaturia. There are acquired and hereditary forms of this disorder. A late-onset form of Fanconi syndrome in Basenjis was first described in 1976 and is now recognized as an inherited disease in these dogs.

Metabolic bone diseases are a heterogenous group of conditions that all result in aberrant bone mineral homeostasis with resulting skeletal disease. The underlying causes are variable, ranging from nutritional deficiencies to pathogenic variants in skeletal genes. To properly diagnose and treat these conditions, a clinician needs to understand bone metabolism as well as recognize the signs of disease in a patient.
