Abstract

Hypophosphatemia when combined with phosphate depletion (that is, not due to phosphate shift into the cells) can cause a variety of signs and symptoms. The manifestations depend in large part upon the severity and chronicity of the phosphate depletion, with the plasma phosphate concentration usually being below 0.32 mmol/L in symptomatic patients. The major conditions associated with symptomatic hypophosphatemia are chronic alcoholism, intravenous hyperalimentation without phosphate, and chronic ingestion of antacids. Severe hypophosphatemia can also be seen during treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis and with prolonged hyperventilation.
