Hypophosphatemia - an overlooked electrolyte
- Klinikum Chemnitz, Klinik für Innere Medizin III, Chemnitz
Phosphorus is one of the so-called macronutrients and is found in all living cells. Phosphate is often overlooked during electrolyte testing and is more likely to be examined in suspected cases of Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), where it is typically elevated. However, hypophosphatemia is often underestimated. Yet phosphate plays an important role in the body in energy production (in the form of ATP - adenosine triphosphate), bone building and also has a role in regulating the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen as 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. With the following case report, I would like to highlight the importance of measuring phosphatemia and the benefit of possible substitution for our patients.
Keywords: phosphorus, hypophosphatemia, cholangiocarcinoma, electrolytes.
