Association of hypokalaemia and hypophosphataemia [PDF]
A prospective study of 13 patients with hypokalaemia due to a variety of causes demonstrated that six had hypophosphataemia. In 10 patients the plasma inorganic phosphate level rose on correction of the hypokalaemia. Before treatment seven patients had an excessive rate of excretion of phosphate relative to creatinine in the urine. Following correction

An uncommon cause of hypophosphataemia
A woman aged 21 years underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy and appendicectomy for undifferentiated abdominal pain. She re-presented two days later with persistent fever, ongoing abdominal pain, vomiting and anorexia. At admission she was noted to be profoundly hypophosphataemic (0.21 mmol/L) with a normal corrected calcium (2.14 mmol/L).

X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is caused by a pathogenic variant in the PHEX gene, which leads to elevated circulating FGF23. High FGF23 causes hypophosphataemia, reduced active vitamin D concentration and clinically manifests as rickets in children ...

Symptomatic hypophosphataemia after intravenous iron therapy: an underrated adverse reaction
Iron (ferric carboxymaltose) infusion therapy is used to treat severe iron deficiency which is not responding to the first-line oral iron therapy. However, it can also cause severe renal wasting of phosphate resulting in severe hypophosphataemia in some ...

Hypophosphataemia in General Practice Patients [PDF]
We compared plasma phosphate concentrations in general practice patients and hospital inpatients and outpatients over an 8-month period. The distribution of results in all three groups was similar and 12–16% of results were at or below 0·8 mmol/L. In general practice patients, 8·3% of results from males and 12·1% from females were below the lower limit
