Concurrently, reduced serum phosphorus levels may also occur in the background of extracellular to intracellular changes

Concurrently, reduced serum phosphorus levels may also occur in the background of extracellular to intracellular changes Hypophosphatemia can occur when there is decreased phosphorus intake (decreased intestinal absorption or increased gastrointestinal losses), or excess renal wasting from renal tubular defects or hyperparathyroidism. In the case of cellular shifts, total body phosphorus may not be depleted….
