    HYPOPHOSPHATEMIA DEFINITION: Total serum phosphate levels less than 3.0 mg/dL. Mild hypophosphatemia: 2.5-3.0 mg/dL. Moderate hypophosphatemia: 1.0-2.5 mg/dL. Severe hypophosphatemia: < 1.0 mg/dL. INCIDENCE IN CRITICAL ILLNESS: Common. ETIOLOGY: Transcellular shift: Refeeding syndrome (abrupt initiation of carbohydrate causes an insulin spike, which increases cellular phosphate uptake); exogenous administration of insulin; respiratory alkalosis. Renal loss: Diuretics; osmotic diuresis in diabetic ketoacidosis; hyperparathyroidism (primary and secondary; decreases urinary resorption of phosphate); proximal renal tubular dysfunction (Fanconi’s syndrome). Insufficient intestinal absorption: Malnutrition; phosphate-binding antacids; vitamin D deficiency; chronic diarrhea; nasogastric tube suction; malabsorption. Extreme catabolic states: Burns; trauma; sepsis. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS: Cardiovascular: Acute left ventricular dysfunction; reversible dilated cardiomyopathy. Hematologic: Acute hemolytic anemia; leukocyte dysfunction. Neuromuscular: Diffuse skeletal muscle weakness; rhabdomyolysis; bone demineralization; acute and chronic respiratory failure secondary to diaphragmatic weakness (impaired ventilator weaning); confusion and lethargy; gait disturbance; paresthesias. TREATMENT: It is impossible to accurately predict the exact quantity of phosphate repletion required because most phosphate is intracellular. Moderate hypophosphatemia: Oral supplementation is usually adequate (provided the gastrointestinal tract is functional).

  • Randomized Trial of Intravenous Iron-Induced Hypophosphatemia
    CLINICAL MEDICINE Randomized trial of intravenous iron-induced hypophosphatemia Myles Wolf,1,2 Glenn M. Chertow,3,4 Iain C. Macdougall,5 Robert Kaper,6 Julie Krop,6 and William Strauss6 1Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, and 2Duke Clinical Research Institute, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina, USA. 3Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine and 4Department of Health Research and Policy, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA. 5Renal Unit, King’s College Hospital, London, United Kingdom. 6AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. BACKGROUND. Hypophosphatemia can complicate intravenous iron therapy, but no head-to-head trials compared the effects of newer intravenous iron formulations on risks and mediators of hypophosphatemia. METHODS. In a randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial of adults with iron deficiency anemia from February 2016 to January 2017, we compared rates of hypophosphatemia in response to a single FDA-approved course of ferric carboxymaltose (n = 1,000) or ferumoxytol (n = 997). To investigate pathophysiological mediators of intravenous iron-induced hypophosphatemia, we nested within the parent trial a physiological substudy (ferric carboxymaltose, n = 98; ferumoxytol, n = 87) in which we measured fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), calcitriol, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) at baseline and 1, 2, and 5 weeks later. RESULTS. The incidence of hypophosphatemia was significantly higher in the ferric carboxymaltose versus the ferumoxytol group (<2.0 mg/dl, 50.8% vs. 0.9%; <1.3 mg/dl, 10.0% vs. 0.0%; P < 0.001), and hypophosphatemia persisted through the end of the 5-week study period in 29.1% of ferric carboxymaltose–treated patients versus none of the ferumoxytol-treated patients (P < 0.001).

  • The Hematological Complications of Alcoholism
    The Hematological Complications of Alcoholism HAROLD S. BALLARD, M.D. Alcohol has numerous adverse effects on the various types of blood cells and their functions. For example, heavy alcohol consumption can cause generalized suppression of blood cell production and the production of structurally abnormal blood cell precursors that cannot mature into functional cells. Alcoholics frequently have defective red blood cells that are destroyed prematurely, possibly resulting in anemia. Alcohol also interferes with the production and function of white blood cells, especially those that defend the body against invading bacteria. Consequently, alcoholics frequently suffer from bacterial infections. Finally, alcohol adversely affects the platelets and other components of the blood-clotting system. Heavy alcohol consumption thus may increase the drinker’s risk of suffering a stroke.

  • A Rare Case of Multiple Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumors Along A
    Arai et al.

Tumors associated with TIO are typically phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors that are bone and soft tissue origin and often present as a solitary tumor. The high production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by the tumor is believed to be the causative factor responsible for the impaired renal tubular phosphate reabsorption, hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia. Complete removal of the tumors by surgery is the most effective procedure for treatment. Identification of the tumors by advanced imaging techniques is difficult because TIO is small and exist within bone and soft tissue. However, systemic venous sampling has been frequently reported to be useful for diagnosing TIO patients. Case presentation: We experienced a case of 39-year-old male with diffuse bone pain and multiple fragility fractures caused by multiple FGF23-secreting tumors found in the hallux. Laboratory testing showed hypophosphatemia due to renal phosphate wasting and high levels of serum FGF23. Contrast-enhanced MRI showed three soft tissue tumors and an intraosseous tumor located in the right hallux. Systemic venous sampling of FGF23 revealed an elevation in the right common iliac vein and external iliac vein, which suggested that the tumors in the right hallux were responsible for overproduction of FGF23.

We aim to address the black rhino caretaker community at multiple perspectives (keeper, curator, veterinarian, nutritionist, veterinary technician, and researcher) to describe approaches to Iron Overload Disorder in black rhinos and share learnings. This report includes sections on (1) background on how iron functions in comparative species and how Iron Overload Disorder appears to work in black rhinos, (2) practical recommendations for known diagnostics, (3) a brief review of current investigations on inflammatory and other potential biomarkers, (4) nutrition knowledge and advice as prevention, and (5) an overview of treatment options including information on chelation and details on performing large volume voluntary phlebotomy. The aim is to use evidence to support the successful management of this disorder to ensure optimal animal health, welfare, and longevity for a sustainable black rhinoceros population.

Endocrinology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, IND 2. Radiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, IND 3. Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, IND Corresponding author: Hiya Boro, [email protected] Abstract X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets is a genetic disease caused due to the inactivation of the PHEX gene (phosphate regulating gene with homology to endopeptidase on the X chromosome). The usual presentation is with rickets and osteomalacia, and dental abscesses leading to premature loss of teeth. However, enthesopathy and sclerotic bone disease in XLH have also been reported in a few case reports. In this report, we describe the case of a 23-year-old female patient who presented to us with severe bone deformities, proximal myopathy, truncal weakness, and recent onset of pain and stiffness around the joints. She was diagnosed with XLH and was found to have severe enthesopathy along with heterotopic ossification. Categories: Endocrinology/Diabetes/Metabolism Keywords: rickets, enthesopathy, osteosclerosis, dental abscess, hypophosphatemia Introduction X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets is a disease characterized by rachitic manifestations and osteomalacia in the form of bone pain, bone deformities, proximal myopathy, and poor dental health. It is caused by the inactivating mutation of the PHEX gene (phosphate regulating gene with homology to endopeptidase on the X chromosome). The PHEX gene encodes for an endopeptidase that causes cleavage of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a phosphatonin that causes phosphate wastage from the body.
