Anorexia nervosa: refeeding and hypophosphatemia

Article Abstract:

Hypophosphatemia plays a role in the occurrence of refeeding syndrome in individuals with anorexia nervosa. Anorexic patients on a refeeding schedule should be given oral phosphate at the beginning of the schedule. The case study of a patient with hypophosphatemia shows that regular monitoring of serum electrodes, particularly during the first refeeding week, can guard against refeeding complications. In severe hypophosphatemia, both intravenous and oral phosphate supplementation, and reduction or termination of feeding are important.
