Disturbances of phosphate balanca: hypophosphatemia

Hypophosphatemia when combined with phosphate depletion can cause a variety of signs and symptoms. The manifestations depend in large partupon 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.
