Article Synopsis
- A young female patient developed severe hypophosphatemia and mild muscle weakness after receiving an intravenous iron infusion for iron-deficiency anemia.
- The hypophosphatemia was linked to elevated levels of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23), which causes renal phosphate loss.
- FGF23 inhibits the reabsorption of phosphate in the kidneys and the activation of vitamin D, reducing phosphate absorption from the intestines, while symptoms may be less noticeable following iron replacement therapy.
