We report an episode of transient encephalopathy and cardiac suppression in a diabetic, malnourished end-stage renal disease patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis with a glucose-based solution, which was associated with severe hypophosphatemia. Further investigation revealed an adynamic bone disease. The potential factors precipitating this episode of hypophosphatemia are discussed. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
