Hypophosphatemia is a condition where your blood has low levels of phosphorus. Phosphorus is a mineral found in bones that helps keep them and the body healthy. Normal blood phosphorus levels are between 2.5 to 4.5 mg/dL. Low levels can cause health issues such as muscle weakness, respiratory or heart failure, seizures, or comas. The cause of hypophosphatemia is always due to some underlying issue. It is a severe condition, and treating the underlying issue is crucial to prevent serious repercussions. There are two types of hypophosphatemia: acute and chronic. Acute hypophosphatemia is usually more severe and common in clinical settings, caused by factors like malnutrition, alcoholism, diabetes, or severe infections. Chronic hypophosphatemia is typically caused by kidney issues, where kidneys cannot absorb phosphorus. Symptoms of hypophosphatemia may not be obvious but can include weakness, bone pain, and easy fractures. Untreated hypophosphatemia can lead to severe consequences or even death. Treatment involves supplementing phosphorus based on the severity of the condition. Mild cases can be treated with oral phosphorus supplements, while severe cases require intravenous phosphorus.
