Abstract
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome that develops in patients with severe liver dysfunction and/or portocaval shunting. Despite more than a century of research into the relationship between liver damage and development of encephalopathy, pathogenetic mechanisms of hepatic encephalopathy have not yet been fully elucidated. It is generally recognized, however, that the main trigger of neurologic complications in hepatic encephalopathy is the neurotoxin ammonia/ammonium, concentration of which in the blood increases to toxic levels (hyperammonemia), when detoxification function of the liver is impaired. Freely penetrating into brain cells and affecting NMDA-receptor-mediated signaling, ammonia triggers a pathological cascade leading to the sharp inhibition of aerobic glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, brain hypoperfusion, nerve cell damage, and formation of neurological deficits. Brain hypoperfusion, in turn, could be due to the impaired oxygen transport function of erythrocytes, because of the disturbed energy metabolism that occurs in the membranes and inside erythrocytes and controls affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen, which determines the degree of oxygenation of blood and tissues. In our recent study, this causal relationship was confirmed and novel ammonium-induced pro-oxidant effect mediated by excessive activation of NMDA receptors leading to impaired oxygen transport function of erythrocytes was revealed. For a more complete evaluation of "erythrocytic" factors that diminish brain oxygenation and lead to encephalopathy, in this study, activity of the enzymes and concentration of metabolites of glycolysis and Rapoport-Lubering shunt, as well as morphological characteristics of erythrocytes from the rats with acute hyperammoniemia were determined. To elucidate the role of NMDA receptors in the above processes, MK-801, a non-competitive receptor antagonist, was used. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that it is necessary to consider ammonium-induced morphofunctional disorders of erythrocytes and hemoglobinemia which can occur as a result of alterations in highly integrated networks of metabolic pathways may act as an additional systemic "erythrocytic" pathogenetic factor to prevent the onset and progression of cerebral hypoperfusion in hepatic encephalopathy accompanied by hyperammonemia.

Blood oxygenation state in COVID-19 patients: Unexplored role of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Biomed J 2024:100723. [PMID: 38583585 DOI: 10.1016/j.bj.2024.100723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 reduces lung functionality causing a decrease of blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia) often related to a decreased cellular oxygenation (hypoxia). Besides lung injury, other factors are implicated in the regulation of oxygen availability such as pH, partial arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2), temperature, and erythrocytic 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) levels, all factors affecting hemoglobin saturation curve. However, few data are currently available regarding the 2,3-BPG modulation in SARS-CoV-2 affected patients at the hospital admission. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-eight COVID-19 patients were enrolled at hospital admission. The lung involvement was quantified using chest-Computer Tomography (CT) analysed with automatic software (CALIPER). Haemoglobin concentrations, glycemia, and routine analysis were evaluated in the whole blood, while partial arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), PaCO2, pH, and HCO3- were assessed by arterial blood gas analysis. 2,3-BPG levels were assessed by specific immunoenzymatic assays in RBCs. RESULTS A higher percentage of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and vascular pulmonary-related structure (VRS) volume on chest-CT quantified with CALIPER had been found in COVID-19 patients with a worse disease outcome (R = 0.4342; and R = 0.3641, respectively). Furthermore, patients with lower PaO2 showed an imbalanced acid-base equilibrium (pH, p = 0.0208; PaCO2, p = 0.0496) and a higher 2,3-BPG levels (p = 0.0221). The 2,3-BPG levels were also lower in patients with metabolic alkalosis (p = 0.0012 vs. no alkalosis; and p = 0.0383 vs. respiratory alkalosis). CONCLUSIONS Overall, the data reveal a different pattern of activation of blood oxygenation compensatory mechanisms reflecting a different course of the COVID-19 disease specifically focusing on 2,3-BPG modulation.

Abstract
Eating after a period of starvation can cause refeeding syndrome, a fatal condition caused by a shift in fluids and electrolytes that can result in sudden death. The Battle for Tottori Castle (1581) during the Warring States Period of Japan, which witnessed the use of hyoro-zeme, the tactic of intentionally starving a besieged enemy, was followed by a dramatic episode of mass death among starving soldiers not from fighting but from eating; accounts from the period relate that many of the besieged soldiers survived the hyoro-zeme only to die soon afterwards when they were fed immediately after surrendering. We herein reviewed the Japanese historical records of the Battle for Tottori Castle and hypothesized that the hyoro-zeme episode they recount is possibly the oldest description of refeeding syndrome to be documented in Japan. Our investigation revealed sufficient evidence that refeeding syndrome was the cause of the mass deaths reported after the famous battle.

Abstract
Postparturient hemoglobinuria is a sporadic disease characterized by intravascular hemolysis and hemoglobinuria in early lactating dairy cows. The condition has empirically been associated with phosphorus (P) deficiency or hypophosphatemia; however, the exact etiology remains obscure. This paper summarizes two controlled studies investigating the effect of P deprivation during the transition period. In Study I, 36 late pregnant dairy cows were randomly assigned to either a diet with low, or adequate, P content from four weeks before calving to four weeks after calving. In Study II, 30 late pregnant dairy cows were again assigned to either a diet with low, or adequate, P for the last four weeks before calving only. Pronounced hypophosphatemia developed during periods of restricted P supply. In early lactation, a subtle decline of the red blood cell count occurred independently of the dietary P supply. In Study I, anemia developed in 11 cows on deficient P supply, which was associated with hemoglobinuria in five cases. Neither erythrocyte total P content nor osmotic resistance of erythrocytes were altered by dietary P deprivation. Restricted dietary P supply, particularly in early lactation, may lead to postparturient hemoglobinuria, but more frequently causes clinically inapparent hemolysis and anemia in cows.

Nutrients 2022; 14:236.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sodium phosphate (SP) supplementation on aerobic capacity in hypoxia. Twenty-four trained male cyclists received SP (50 mg·kg-1 of FFM/day) or placebo for six days in a randomized, crossover study, with a three-week washout period between supplementation phases. Before and after each supplementation phase, the subjects performed an incremental exercise test to exhaustion in hypoxia (FiO2 = 16%). Additionally, the levels of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), inorganic phosphate (Pi), calcium (Ca), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and acid-base balance were determined. The results showed that phosphate loading significantly increased the Pi level by 9.0%, whereas 2,3-DPG levels, hemoglobin oxygen affinity, buffering capacity and myocardial efficiency remained unchanged. The aerobic capacity in hypoxia was not improved following SP. Additionally, our data revealed high inter-individual variability in response to SP. Therefore, the participants were grouped as Responders and Non-Responders. In the Responders, a significant increase in aerobic performance in the range of 3-5% was observed. In conclusion, SP supplementation is not an ergogenic aid for aerobic capacity in hypoxia. However, in certain individuals, some benefits can be expected, but mainly in athletes with less training-induced central and/or peripheral adaptation.

Phosphate Loading Does not Improve 30-km Cycling Time-Trial Performance in Trained Cyclists. Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab 2022; 33:93-101. [PMID: 37087103 DOI: 10.1123/ijsnem.2022-0111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Phosphate is integral to numerous metabolic processes, several of which strongly predict exercise performance (i.e., cardiac function, oxygen transport, and oxidative metabolism). Evidence regarding phosphate loading is limited and equivocal, at least partly because studies have examined sodium phosphate supplements of varied molar mass (e.g., mono/di/tribasic, dodecahydrate), thus delivering highly variable absolute quantities of phosphate. Within a randomized cross-over design and in a single-blind manner, 16 well-trained cyclists (age 38 ± 16 years, mass 74.3 ± 10.8 kg, training 340 ± 171 min/week; mean ± SD) ingested either 3.5 g/day of dibasic sodium phosphate (Na2HPO4: 24.7 mmol/day phosphate; 49.4 mmol/day sodium) or a sodium chloride placebo (NaCl: 49.4 mmol/day sodium and chloride) for 4 days prior to each of two 30-km time trials, separated by a washout interval of 14 days. There was no evidence of any ergogenic benefit associated with phosphate loading. Time to complete the 30-km time trial did not differ following ingestion of sodium phosphate and sodium chloride (3,059 ± 531 s vs. 2,995 ± 467 s). Accordingly, neither absolute mean power output (221 ± 48 W vs. 226 ± 48 W) nor relative mean power output (3.02 ± 0.78 W/kg vs. 3.08 ± 0.71 W/kg) differed meaningfully between the respective intervention and placebo conditions. Measures of cardiovascular strain and ratings of perceived exertion were very closely matched between treatments (i.e., average heart rate 161 ± 11 beats per minute vs. 159 ± 12 beats per minute; Δ2 beats per minute; and ratings of perceived exertion 18 [14–20] units vs. 17 [14–20] units). In conclusion, supplementing with relatively high absolute doses of phosphate (i.e., >10 mmol daily for 4 days) exerted no ergogenic effects on trained cyclists completing 30-km time trials.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) plays a critical function in many tissues of the body: for example, as part of the hydroxyapatite in the skeleton and as a substrate for ATP synthesis. Pi is the main source of dietary phosphorus. Reduced bioavailability of Pi or excessive losses in the urine causes rickets and osteomalacia. While critical for health in normal amounts, dietary phosphorus is plentiful in the Western diet and is often added to foods as a preservative. This abundance of phosphorus may reduce longevity due to metabolic changes and tissue calcifications. In this review, we examine how dietary phosphorus is absorbed in the gut, current knowledge about Pi sensing, and endocrine regulation of Pi levels. Moreover, we also examine the roles of Pi in different tissues, the consequences of low and high dietary phosphorus in these tissues, and the implications for healthy aging.

Abstract
Background: The prevalence of vertebral fractures (VF) and their association with clinical risk factors and outcomes are poorly documented in chronic kidney disease (CKD) cohorts. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of VF in patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD (NDD-CKD), their value in predicting mortality and its correlation with parameters of bone mineral metabolism and vascular calcification. Materials and Methods: 612 NDD 3‒5 stage CKD patients participating in the OSERCE-2 study, a prospective, multicenter, cohort study, were prospectively evaluated and categorized into two groups according to presence or absence of VF at enrollment. VF were assessed with lateral radiographs and Genant semi-quantitative method was applied. Three radiologists specialized in musculoskeletal radiology performed consensual reading of individual images obtained using a Raim DICOM Viewer and a Canon EOS 350 camera to measure with Java Image software in those who had traditional acetate X-ray. Factors related to VF were assessed by logistic regression analysis. Association between VF and death over a 3-year follow-up was assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox-proportional hazard models. Results: VF were detected in 110 patients (18%). Serum phosphate levels (OR 0.719, 95% CI 0.532 to 0.972, p = 0.032), ankle-brachial index < 0.9 (OR 1.694, 95% CI 1.056‒2.717, p = 0.029) and treatment with bisphosphonates (OR 5.636, 95% CI 1.876‒16.930, p = 0.002) were independently related to the presence of VF. After a median follow-up of 35 months (IQR: 17‒37 months), 62 patients (10%) died. The causes of death were cardiovascular (n = 21, 34%) and infectious (n = 11, 18%). In the crude analysis, fractured patients group had poorer survival (log-rank test, p = 0.02). After multivariate adjustment for age, MDRD, albumin, diabetes mellitus, comorbidity, Adragao Score > 3 and serum phosphate, the presence of VF (HR 1.983, 95% CI 1.009‒3.898, p = 0.047) were an independent predictor of all-cause mortality. Conclusions: In our study 18% of patients with NDD-CKD have VF. Factors associated with VF were age, low serum phosphate levels and peripheral vascular disease. The presence of VF was an independent risk factor for mortality in stages 3‒5 NDD-CKD patients. Clinical trials are needed to confirm whether this relationship is causal and reversible with treatment for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Hypophosphatemia is a common but often underestimated electrolyte derangement among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Low phosphate levels can lead to cellular dysfunction with potentially relevant clinical manifestations (e.g., muscle weakness, respiratory failure, lethargy, confusion, arrhythmias). In critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) renal replacement therapies (RRTs) represent a well-known risk factor for hypophosphatemia, especially if the most intensive and prolonged modalities of RRT, such as continuous RRT or prolonged intermittent RRT, are used. Currently, no evidence-based specific guidelines are available for the treatment of hypophosphatemia in the critically ill; however, considering the potentially negative impact of hypophosphatemia on morbidity and mortality, strategies aimed at reducing its incidence and severity should be timely implemented in the ICUs. In the clinical setting of critically ill patients on RRT, the most appropriate strategy could be to anticipate the onset of RRT-related hypophosphatemia by implementing the use of phosphate-containing solutions for RRT through specifically designed protocols. The present review is aimed at summarizing the most relevant evidence concerning epidemiology, prognostic impact, prevention and treatment of hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients with AKI on RRT, with a specific focus on RRT-induced hypophosphatemia.

AIMS To determine the relationship of serum phosphate, serum magnesium and peripheral nerve function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 254 patients diagnosed with T2DM were included. Peripheral nerve function was evaluated by nerve conduction study with the use of electromyography. Composite z scores of conduction velocity, latency, and amplitude were constructed, respectively. Demographic, medical and laboratory data including serum phosphate and magnesium were collected. RESULTS Serum phosphate and serum magnesium levels were significantly lower in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) (P < 0.01). And the percentages of DPN patients were lower in high tertile of serum phosphate and serum magnesium (P < 0.05). Furthermore, composite z score of conduction velocity (CV) (P = 0.012) were positively associated with serum phosphate levels and the composite z score of amplitude (P < 0.001) and CV (P = 0.041) were positively associated with serum magnesium levels. After adjusting potential related factors (age, gender, smoking, diabetes duration, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, estimated glomerular filtration rate), serum levels of phosphate and magnesium were still related to status of DPN in logistic regression (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Lower serum phosphate and magnesium significantly correlated with parameters of nerve conduction in T2DM patients. Serum phosphate and magnesium might underlie the pathophysiologic features of DPN.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to high levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the activation of purinergic receptors (P2X7), which results in cell death. Klotho was recently described as a modulator of oxidative stress and as having anti-apoptotic properties, among others. However, the roles of P2X7 and klotho in the progression of diabetic nephropathy are still unclear. In this context, the aim of the present study was to characterize P2X7 and klotho in several stages of diabetes in rats. Diabetes was induced in Wistar rats by streptozotocin, while the control group rats received the drug vehicle. From the 1st to 8th weeks after the diabetes induction, the animals were placed in metabolic cages on the 1st day of each week for 24 h to analyze metabolic parameters and for the urine collection. Then, blood samples and the kidneys were collected for biochemical analysis, including Western blotting and qPCR for P2X7 and klotho. Diabetic rats presented a progressive loss of renal function, with reduced nitric oxide and increased lipid peroxidation. The P2X7 and klotho expressions were similar up to the 4th week; then, P2X7 expression increased in diabetes mellitus (DM), but klotho expression presented an opposite behavior, until the 8th week. Our data show an inverse correlation between P2X7 and klotho expressions through the development of DM, which suggests that the management of these molecules could be useful for controlling the progression of this disease and diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
The different mechanisms of acidosis buffering were investigated in 15 RDT patients dialyzed in cross-over with four depurative techniques: acetate dialysis (AD), bicarbonate dialysis (BD), lactate hemofiltration (LHF) and hemodiafiltration (HDF) with acetate bath and lactate reinfusion fluid. Blood pH, bicarbonate, blood gases, intraerythrocytic pH — on red cell hemolisates — anion gap, L-lactate, pyruvate, adenosinmonophosphate (ADP) and 2-3 Diphosphoglycerate (2-3 DPG) levels were evaluated. During AD the intradialytic buffering is initially achieved by the CO2 fall and later by the acetate metabolism and an important bicarbonate shift from the intra to the extracellular space. A physiological compensation is obtained during BD with bicarbonate administration and a mild ventilatory response to the pCO2 increase. In LHF the massive lactate administration, with plasma levels of 7 mmol/l, strongly alters the Central Nervous System elettroneutrality inducing a hyperventilatory response with a purely pulmonary acidosis buffering. Furthermore the lactate/pyruvate ratio rose as high as 40:1 with ADP increase and cellular energy depletion. In HDF several different mechanisms are associated: the CO2 fixation, the acetate muscular metabolism, the intra-extracellular bicarbonate shift with the pulmonary response driven by lactate Central Nervous System penetration.

Abstract
CONTEXT Although hypophosphatemia is usually very seldom, it can reach two to 3% of hospitalized patients and until 28% of intensive care unit patients. Due to the lack of knowledge, clinical practice regarding seeking or treatment of hypophosphatemia is very heterogenous. However its clinical consequences might be heavy. A better knowledge of its causes, physiopathological effects and treatment should lead to a documented and homogenous care of these patients in clinics. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was a systematic review of littérature, seeking for publications about causes, consequences and treatment of hypophosphatemia. DOCUMENTARY SOURCES (KEYWORDS AND LANGUAGE) A research has been conducted on the Medline database by using the following keywords "phosphorus supplementation", "hypophosphatemia" and ("physiopathology" or "complications"). RESULTS Three mains mechanisms might be responsible for hypophosphatemia: a decrease in digestive absorption, a rise in kidney excretion and a transfer of phosphorus to the intracellular compartment. Denutrition, acid base balance troubles, parenteral nutrition or several drugs are capable of provoking or favouring hypophosphatemia. All these situations are frequently encountered in intensive care unit. Consequences of hypophosphatemia might be serious. Best studied and documented are cardiac and respiratory muscle contractility decrease, sometimes leading to acute cardiac and respiratory failure, cardiac rhythm troubles and cardiac arrest. Hypophosphatemia is frequent during sepsis. It could be responsible for leucocyte dysfunction that might favour or increase sepsis. The treatment of hypophosphatemia is usually simple through a supplementation that quickly restores a regular concentration, with few adverse effects when regularly used. CONCLUSION During at-risk situations, the systematic search for hypophosphatemia and its treatment may limit the occurrence of serious consequences.

Abstract
Background Hypophosphatemia is one of the common disorders that develop in critically ill patients. It has potential complications and is often unrecognized in those patients. Objective Determining the incidence of hypophosphatemia in critically ill children, its association with clinical outcomes and the possible risk factors. Methods 50 patients were enrolled in the study. Levels of serum phosphate were measured on day 1 and day 7 of PICU (Pediatric intensive care unit) stay. The following variables were analyzed: age, gender, diagnosis on admission, malnutrition, phosphorus intake, clinical severity score on admission OFI (Organ Failure Index) and daily scores PELOD (Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction), sepsis, use of dopamine, furosemide and steroids and assessment of nutrition by z scores. Results The incidence of hypophosphatemia on admission was 42%. On seventh day of admission incidence of hypophosphatemia was 62%. Malnutrition was present in 24% of patients, serum phosphorus level was significantly lower in malnourished than in well-nourished children (p value = 0.018). Hypophosphatemia was associated with prolonged PICU length of stay (p < 0.001) but was not associated with increased mortality (p = 0.13). Cases on parenteral nutrition and insufficient oral intake while on mechanical ventilator significantly showed hypophosphatemia (p = 0.017). Hypophosphatemia was associated with the use of furosemide, dopamine, steroids and β2 agonist. Conclusion Hypophosphatemia was common in the first 7 days of PICU hospitalization and was associated with prolonged PICU stay, Significant association between hypophosphatemia and duration of use of mechanical ventilation, use of furosemide, dopamine, steroids and β2 agonist. Hypophosphatemia was common in the first 7 days of pediatric intensive care unit hospitalization. Significant association between hypophosphatemia and duration of use of mechanical ventilation. Hypophosphatemia was associated with prolonged pediatric intensive care unit length of stay. Hypophosphatemia was associated with use of furosemide, dopamine, steroid and β2 agonist. Good nutrition of critically ill children has an important role in improving their clinical condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of hypophosphatemia in critically ill children and its association with clinical outcomes; to determine risk factors and mechanism of hypophosphatemia. METHODS Levels of serum phosphate, phosphate intake, renal phosphate handling indices and blood gases were measured on days 1, 3, 7 and 10 of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay. Hypophosphatemia was defined as any serum phosphorus <3.8 mg/dl for children younger than 2 y and <3.5 mg/dl for children 2 y or older. Renal phosphate loss was assessed using the ratio of tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate (TmP) to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [TmP/GFR]. RESULTS Prevalence of hypophosphatemia was 71.6 % (95 % CI: 64.6-78.6). On adjusted analysis, hypophosphatemia was associated with prolonged PICU length of stay (PICU LOS > 6 d) (adjusted OR: 3.0 [95 % CI: 1.4-6.7; p = 0.005]) but not associated with increased mortality. Renal phosphate threshold was significantly lower on all the days in hypophosphatemic group compared to that of non-hypophosphatemic group. No statistically significant difference in the amount of phosphate intake was seen in both the groups. CONCLUSIONS Hypophosphatemia is highly prevalent in critically ill children and is associated with prolonged PICU LOS. Increased phosphate loss in urine is one of the mechanism responsible for hypophosphatemia in critically ill children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypophosphatemia (HP) is frequent following liver resection, and thought to represent use of phosphate during liver regeneration. We sought to evaluate the association of post-hepatectomy HP with liver insufficiency and recovery. METHODS Liver resections were retrospectively reviewed from 2009 to 2012 at a single institution. We explored the relationship between HP (defined as serum phosphate ≤0.65 mmol/L), occurrence of initial liver insufficiency (ILI) [bilirubin >50 µmol/L, international normalized ratio (INR) >1.7 within 72 hours of surgery] and in-hospital recovery of ILI. Secondary outcomes included 30-day post-operative major morbidity (Clavien grade 3 and 4 complications), mortality, and re-admission. RESULTS Among 402 patients, 223 (55.5%) experienced HP and 64 (15.9%) met our definition of ILI, of which 53 (82.8%) recovered. Length of stay, 30-day post-operative major morbidity, mortality, and re-admission were similar between patients with and without HP. Among patients with ILI, 44 (68.8%) experienced HP. Following ILI, patients with HP recovered more often than those with NP (90.9% vs. 65.0%; P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS In patients who experience post-hepatectomy ILI, HP is associated with improved recovery, potentially indicating more efficient liver regeneration. Further studies should explore the usefulness of post-hepatectomy HP as an early prognostic factor of recovery from ILI.

Abstract
Relatively few studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of hypophosphatemia on cardiac function. The goal of this review was to determine whether there is an association between hypophosphatemia and cardiac function and to increase awareness of hypophosphatemia-induced cardiomyopathy as a new clinical entity and a reversible cause of heart failure. We searched MEDLINE and PubMed from 1971 until March 2015 for primary studies, which reported the relationship between hypophosphatemia and cardiac function. A total of 837 articles were initially obtained. Of these articles, 826 publications were excluded according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In all, 11 articles were included in this review. These articles included 7 case series or case reports, 1 case-control study, 1 pretest versus posttest in a single group and 2 animal studies. In conclusion, the mechanisms of hypophosphatemia in cardiomyopathy have been reported to be a depletion of adenosine triphosphate in myocardial cells and decreased 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes. After correction of hypophosphatemia, left ventricular performance seems to improve in patients with severe hypophosphatemia, but not in those with mild-to-moderate hypophosphatemia. However, analyses of the relationship between cardiac function and hypophosphatemia using clinical end points have not been conducted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hypophosphatemia is a frequent complication during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a dialytic technique used to treat AKI in critically ill patients. This study sought to confirm that phosphate depletion during CRRT may decrease red blood cell (RBC) concentration of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), a crucial allosteric effector of hemoglobin's (Hgb's) affinity for oxygen, thereby leading to impaired oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Phosphate mass balance studies were performed in 20 patients with severe AKI through collection of CRRT effluent. RBC concentrations of 2,3-DPG, venous blood gas pH, and oxygen partial pressure required for 50% hemoglobin saturation (P50) were measured at CRRT initiation and days 2, 4, and 7. Similar measurements were obtained on days 0 and 2 in a reference group of 10 postsurgical patients, most of whom did not have AKI. Associations of 2,3-DPG with laboratory parameters and clinical outcomes were examined using mixed-effects and Cox regression models. RESULTS Mean 2,3-DPG levels decreased from a mean (±SD) of 13.4±3.4 µmol/g Hgb to 11.0±3.1 µmol/g Hgb after 2 days of CRRT (P<0.001). Mean hemoglobin saturation P50 levels decreased from 29.7±4.4 mmHg to 26.7±4.0 mmHg (P<0.001). No significant change was seen in the reference group. 2,3-DPG levels after 2 days of CRRT were not significantly lower than those in the reference group on day 2. Among patients receiving CRRT, 2,3-DPG decreased by 0.53 µmol/g Hgb per 1 g phosphate removed (95% confidence interval 0.38 to 0.68 µmol/g Hgb; P<0.001). Greater reductions in 2,3-DPG were associated with higher risk for death (hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.09 to 1.88; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS CRRT-induced phosphate depletion is associated with measurable reductions in RBC 2,3-DPG concentration and a shift in the O2:Hgb affinity curve even in the absence of overt hypophosphatemia. 2,3-DPG reductions may be associated with higher risk for in-hospital death and represent a potentially avoidable complication of CRRT.

Abstract
Legal nutritional ergogenic aids can offer athletes an additional avenue to enhance their performance beyond what they can achieve through training. Consequently, the investigation of new nutritional ergogenic aids is constantly being undertaken. One emerging nutritional supplement that has shown some positive benefits for sporting performance is sodium phosphate. For ergogenic purposes, sodium phosphate is supplemented orally in capsule form, at a dose of 3-5 g/day for a period of between 3 and 6 days. A number of exercise performance-enhancing alterations have been reported to occur with sodium phosphate supplementation, which include an increased aerobic capacity, increased peak power output, increased anaerobic threshold and improved myocardial and cardiovascular responses to exercise. A range of mechanisms have been posited to account for these ergogenic effects. These include enhancements in 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentrations, myocardial efficiency, buffering capacity and adenosine triphosphate/phosphocreatine synthesis. Whilst there is evidence to support the ergogenic benefits of sodium phosphate, many studies researching this substance differ in terms of the administered dose and dosing protocol, the washout period employed and the fitness level of the participants recruited. Additionally, the effect of gender has received very little attention in the literature. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to critically examine the use of sodium phosphate as an ergogenic aid, with a focus on identifying relevant further research.

Abstract
Overweight and obesity are becoming global health problems. Although genetics certainly plays a role, weight gain is ultimately the result of a failure in the balance between energy expenditure and energy intake. Obesity during the past few decades was paralleled with several changes in dietary habits favouring low phosphorus consumption. This is believed to compromise adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production that is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism. Ingestion of high-carbohydrate-low phosphorus food is known to increase insulin release, to simultaneously stimulate peripheral uptake of phosphorus and the phosphorylation of many compounds. This creates a competition for phosphorus that compromises its availability for ATP production, possibly translated into low diet-induced thermogenesis. Moreover, reduced hepatic ATP production is believed to be transmitted through neural afferents to the central nervous system, resulting in an increase in food intake. On the other hand, the positive relation between phosphorus and red blood cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, which reduces oxygen affinity to haemoglobin, would be expected to reduce the capacity for physical activity. In line with that, plasma phosphorus status was reported to be inversely related to body weight. Adequate intakes of phosphorus are thus potentially protective against rising obesity epidemic across the globe.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammatory process of the pancreas that is associated with variable involvement of pancreatic/peripancreatic tissue and one or more organ systems in varying degrees. Among the multiple organ system dysfunctions in severe AP, cardiovascular and/or pulmonary manifestations are frequent. The cardiovascular system may be affected alone or with other organ systems in all stages of AP. Abnormalities of cardiac rhythm, contractility, and vasomotor tone of peripheral vessels are common cardiovascular manifestations. The pathogenetic factors of cardiac manifestations include hypovolemia and metabolic disturbances (eg, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypophosphatemia). Clinically, patients present with hypotension, tachycardia, and signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (high cardiac index, significant pulmonary shunting, decreased systemic vascular resistance, and decreased myocardial contractility). Approximately 50% of patients with AP have electrocardiographic changes, most commonly T-wave flattening and ST-segment depression. Many of the cardiac manifestations in AP are reversible with appropriate management. In AP, early onset of either multi-organ dysfunction or a sustained single-organ dysfunction is associated with poor outcome. This review highlights cardiac manifestations of AP relevant to clinical practice.

Abstract
Introduction Currently no evidence-based guideline exists for the approach to hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients. Methods We performed a narrative review of the medical literature to identify the incidence, symptoms, and treatment of hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients. Specifically, we searched for answers to the questions whether correction of hypophosphatemia is associated with improved outcome, and whether a certain treatment strategy is superior. Results Incidence: hypophosphatemia is frequently encountered in the intensive care unit; and critically ill patients are at increased risk for developing hypophosphatemia due to the presence of multiple causal factors. Symptoms: hypophosphatemia may lead to a multitude of symptoms, including cardiac and respiratory failure. Treatment: hypophosphatemia is generally corrected when it is symptomatic or severe. However, although multiple studies confirm the efficacy and safety of intravenous phosphate administration, it remains uncertain when and how to correct hypophosphatemia. Outcome: in some studies, hypophosphatemia was associated with higher mortality; a paucity of randomized controlled evidence exists for whether correction of hypophosphatemia improves the outcome in critically ill patients. Conclusions Additional studies addressing the current approach to hypophosphatemia in critically ill patients are required. Studies should focus on the association between hypophosphatemia and morbidity and/or mortality, as well as the effect of correction of this electrolyte disorder.

Abstract
Refeeding syndrome (RFS) represents a group of clinical findings that occur in severely malnourished individuals undergoing nutritional support. Cardiac arrhythmias, multisystem organ dysfunction, and death are the most severe symptoms observed. As the cachectic body attempts to reverse its adaptation to the starved state in response to the nutritional load, symptoms result from fluid and electrolyte imbalances, with hypophosphatemia playing a central role. Because guidelines for feeding the malnourished patient at risk for refeeding syndrome is scarce, we have provided management recommendations based on the knowledge derived from a collection of reported English literature cases of the RFS. A MEDLINE search using keywords including "refeeding syndrome," "RFS," and "refeeding hypophosphatemia" was performed. References from initial cases were utilized for more literature on the subject. We have emphasized the continued importance of managing patients at risk for RFS, compared how management of the severely malnourished patients have evolved over time, and provided comprehensive clinical guidelines based on the sum of experience documented in the case reports for the purpose of supplementing the guidelines available. Based on our review, the most effective means of preventing or treating RFS were the following: recognizing the patients at risk; providing adequate electrolyte, vitamin, and micronutrient supplementation; careful fluid resuscitation; cautious and gradual energy restoration; and monitoring of critical laboratory indices.

Abstract
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is used commonly in an attempt to reduce the duration of neutropenia and hospitalization in patients undergoing chemotherapy and to obtain hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for transplantation applications. Despite the relative safety of administration of G-CSF in most individuals, including subjects with sickle cell trait, severe and life-threatening complications have been reported when used in individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD), including those who were asymptomatic and undiagnosed prior to administration. The administration of G-CSF has now been reported in a total of 11 individuals with SCD. Seven developed severe adverse events, including vaso-occlusive episodes, acute chest syndrome, multi-organ system failure and death. Precautions, including minimizing the peak white blood cell count, dividing or reducing the G-CSF dose and red blood cell transfusions to reduce sickle hemoglobin (HbS) levels, have been employed with no consistent benefit. These reported data indicate that administration of G-CSF in individuals with SCD should be undertaken only in the absence of alternatives and after full disclosure of the risks involved. Unless further data demonstrate safety, routine usage of G-CSF in individuals with SCD should be avoided.

Abstract
In order to study the determining factors for oxygen transport the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC), red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), and plasma inorganic phosphate were estimated in insulin-requiring juvenile and adult diabetics in various conditions of metabolic control. 2,3-DPG has been shown to vary much more in diabetics than in normals, depending upon the state of metabolic control. These fluctuations of 2,3-DPG are mediated by variations in plasma inorganic phosphate as indicated by a close correlation. While 2,3-DPG was markedly decreased in diabetic ketoacidosis, it tended to be increased in ambulatory, non-acidotic patients. Since in the non-acidotic patients the oxygen-carrying capacity, i.e. the haemoglobin concentration was simultaneously elevated, these findings suggest the presence of relative tissue hypoxia in diabetes. Both in non-acidotic and in ketoacidotic patients there was a strong correlation between the amount of 2,3-DPG and the P50 at actual pH as an experssion of the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin. In order to guarantee an optimal erythrocyte oxygen release in diabetics the content of red cell 2,3-DPG and plasma inorganic phosphate should be higher than normal.

Abstract
Intravenous glucose administration is the most common cause of hypophosphataemia in hospitalised patients. While most of these cases are asymptomatic, severe hypophosphataemia, when combined with phosphorus depletion, can cause acute neuropathy that mimics Guillain-Barré syndrome. A malnourished patient who received intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH) without intravenous phosphate (IP) developed hypophosphataemia and acute sensorimotor neuropathy. F waves in the peripheral nerve trunk were absent or diminished, while nerve conduction velocities were nearly normal. The sural nerve biopsy revealed the presence of some subperineurial oedema and mild axonal atrophy. Prompt IP administration reversed the patients' neurological symptoms and normalised F waves. Our data suggest that hypophosphataemia plays a role in the pathogenesis of neuropathy that develops in patients following IVH without IP.

Abstract
The effects of perinatal problems on red cell phosphate metabolism were studied in two groups of infants (preterms B and fullterms D) during the first month of life. All infants started milk feeding from day three after birth. The results were compared to those of healthy preterms (A) and fullterms (C), respectively. Comparisons were also made between the preterm and fullterm groups B and D. The preterms with perinatal problems (B) showed a significant delay in catching up with the plasma and red cell inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels of controls (A) throughout the first month of life (p < 0.05). In parallel, the erythrocyte 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentrations of the sick preterms lagged significantly behind those of controls (p < 0.001); but the ATP levels were comparable between the two groups. The fullterms behaved slightly differently. No significant differences in plasma Pi (Pl Pi) and red cell 2,3-DPG were seen between the sick and healthy neonates during the month of study, while red cell Pi (RBC Pi) and ATP were found to be lower in the sick ones (p < 0.05). The fullterms with perinatal problems (D) had significantly higher Pl Pi (p < 0.05) and RBC Pi (p < 0.01) than preterms with problems (B) from the first week of life and continued in a similar pattern until the end of the month. Red cell 2,3-DPG concentrations were found to be significantly correlated with Pl Pi and RBC Pi in both preterm groups (p < 0.01) and in the sick fullterms (p < 0.001) during the time of the study. In the healthy fullterms 2,3-DPG was found to correlate only with red cell Pi (p < 0.05). Perinatal problems seem to affect Pi metabolism to a different degree in preterm and fullterm neonates in the first month of life.

Abstract
Hypophosphatemia, a common metabolic disorder, is usually silent and diagnosed by blood tests. However, misdiagnosis may result in delayed phosphate repletion, responsible for significant morbidity and potential mortality. We report an exceptional case of hypophosphatemia-related, life-threatening encephalopathy. A 49-year-old type-1 diabetic woman was admitted to our intensive care unit with coma and severe ketoacidosis. Initial neurologic impairment worsened despite improvement in acid-base disturbances and glucose levels. The electroencephalogram showed bilateral spikes with a background theta wave rhythm. Profound hypophosphatemia <0.20 mmol/L (<0.6 mg/dL) was diagnosed. No other cause of encephalopathy was found. Prompt phosphate repletion resulted in progressive and complete recovery. This observation allowed us to study the relations between the coma depth, the electroencephalographic findings, and the serum phosphate concentrations. Our data strongly suggest that phosphate depletion-induced encephalopathy probably originates from direct impairment of cerebral electrophysiological activity rather than from cardiac flow alteration.

Abstract
Optimal cellular function is dependent on maintenance of a normal serum phosphorus concentration. Serum phosphorus concentration is affected by several determinants, the most important of which is regulation of phosphorus reabsorption by the kidney. The majority of this reabsorption (80%) occurs in the proximal tubule and is mediated by an isoform of the sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-II). Parathyroid hormone, via a variety of intracellular signaling cascades leading to NaPi-IIa internalization and downregulation, is the main regulator of renal phosphate reabsorption. Shift of phosphorus from extracellular to intracellular compartments, decreased gastrointestinal absorption, and increased urinary losses, are the primary mechanisms of hypophosphatemia, which affects approximately 2% of hospitalized patients. Hypophosphatemia has been implicated as a cause of rhabdomyolysis, respiratory failure, hemolysis and left ventricular dysfunction. With the exception of ventilated patients, there is little evidence that moderate hypophosphatemia has significant clinical consequences in humans, and aggressive intravenous phosphate replacement is unnecessary. By contrast, patients with severe hypophosphatemia should be treated. Intravenous repletion may be considered, especially for patients who have clinical sequelae of hypophosphatemia.

Abstract
Refeeding syndrome describes a constellation of metabolic disturbances that occur as a result of reinstitution of nutrition to patients who are starved or severely malnourished. Patients can develop fluid and electrolyte disorders, especially hypophosphatemia, along with neurologic, pulmonary, cardiac, neuromuscular, and hematologic complications. We reviewed literature on refeeding syndrome and the associated electrolyte abnormalities, fluid disturbances, and associated complications. In addition to assessing scientific literature, we also considered clinical experience and judgment in developing recommendations for prevention and treatment of refeeding syndrome. The most important steps are to identify patients at risk for developing refeeding syndrome, institute nutrition support cautiously, and correct and supplement electrolyte and vitamin deficiencies to avoid refeeding syndrome. We provide suggestions for the prevention of refeeding syndrome and suggestions for treatment of electrolyte disturbances and complications in patients who develop refeeding syndrome, according to evidence in the literature, the pathophysiology of refeeding syndrome, and clinical experience and judgment.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To trace the entire oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) in a cohort of cirrhotic patients in stable condition who were candidates for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING A large academic hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS We traced the entire ODC in whole blood in standard conditions (pH 7.4; PCO2, 40 mm Hg; temperature, 37 degrees C) for 50 cirrhotic candidates for OLT (27 men and 23 women) and 50 age- and height-matched healthy subjects (27 men and 23 women). All subjects were nonsmokers or ex-smokers for at least 5 years. We also measured 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3 DPG) in RBCs, plasma ions, and arterial blood gases in all subjects according to standard methods. Mixed venous blood was also obtained from the 50 cirrhotic patients. RESULTS Mean ODC was the same in the two groups. However, for the cirrhotic patients, the dispersion of the PO2 values of oxygen saturation percentage (SO2%) from 20 to 80% was significantly larger (p < 0.01 to p < 0.0001). In the cirrhotic patients, the mean PO2 for half-saturation of hemoglobin (P50) was 7.11 + 0.14 mEq/L chloride (p < 0.001) plus 0.36 mEq/L inorganic phosphate (p < 0.05) plus 0.25 micromol/gram of hemoglobin (gHb) 2,3 DPG (p < 0.00002) in absolute numerical values. Sodium, potassium, and calcium, three plasma ions disturbed in cirrhotic patients, did not contribute to determine the mean P50. DISCUSSION In patients with cirrhosis, increased dispersion of PO2 values for a given level of SO2% may be related to four factors: (1) an observed alteration of the enzymes controlling the phosphoglycerate shunt; (2) hypothyroidism, which may affect 7 to 20% of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis; (3) the type of ongoing treatment, eg, diuretics and/or propranolol; and (4) plasma ion disturbances. CONCLUSIONS We describe the ODC by three indexes: shape, position, and an index of dispersion of the PO2 values for a given level of SO2%. In addition, when the latter is increased, we suggest that other factors than pH, temperature, carbon dioxide, and inorganic phosphates are acting on the position of the ODC.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is required for cellular function and skeletal mineralization. Serum Pi level is maintained within a narrow range through a complex interplay between intestinal absorption, exchange with intracellular and bone storage pools, and renal tubular reabsorption. Pi is abundant in the diet, and intestinal absorption of Pi is efficient and minimally regulated. The kidney is a major regulator of Pi homeostasis and can increase or decrease its Pi reabsorptive capacity to accommodate Pi need. The crucial regulated step in Pi homeostasis is the transport of Pi across the renal proximal tubule. Type II sodium-dependent phosphate (Na/Pi) cotransporter (NPT2) is the major molecule in the renal proximal tubule and is regulated by hormones and nonhormonal factors. Recent studies of inherited and acquired hypophosphatemia which exhibit similar biochemical and clinical features, have led to the identification of novel genes, phosphate regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome (PHEX) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), that play a role in the regulation of Pi homeostasis. The PHEX gene encodes an endopeptidase, predominantly expressed in bone and teeth but not in kidney. FGF-23 may be a substrate of this endopeptidase and inhibit renal Pi reabsorption. In a survey in the United States and in Japan, the amount of phosphorus from food is gradually increasing. It is thought that excess amounts of phosphorus intake for long periods are a strong factor in bone impairment and ageing. The restriction of phosphorus intake seems to be important under low calcium intake to keep QOL on high level.

Abstract
The position of the oxygen dissociation curve (ODC) is modulated by 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). Decreases in 2,3-DPG concentration within the red cell shift the curve to the left, whereas increases in concentration cause a shift to the right of the ODC. Some earlier studies on diabetic patients have reported that insulin treatment may reduce the red cell concentrations of 2,3-DPG, causing a shift of the ODC to the left, but the reports are contradictory. Three groups were compared in the present study: 1) nondiabetic control individuals (N = 19); 2) insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients (on insulin treatment) (N = 19); 3) non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients using oral hypoglycemic agents and no insulin treatment (N = 22). The overall position of the ODC was the same for the three groups despite an increase of the glycosylated hemoglobin fraction that was expected to shift the ODC to the left in both groups of diabetic patients (HbA1c: control, 4.6%; IDDM, 10.5%; NIDDM, 9.0%). In IDDM patients, the effect of the glycosylated hemoglobin fraction on the position of the ODC appeared to be counterbalanced by small though statistically significant increases in 2,3-DPG concentration from 2.05 (control) to 2.45 mol/ml blood (IDDM). Though not statistically significant, an increase of 2,3-DPG also occurred in NIDDM patients, while red cell ATP levels were the same for all groups. The positions of the ODC were the same for control subjects, IDDM and NIDDM patients. Thus, the PO2 at 50% hemoglobin-oxygen saturation was 26.8, 28.2 and 28.5 mmHg for control, IDDM and NIDDM, respectively. In conclusion, our data question the idea of adverse side effects of insulin treatment on oxygen transport. In other words, the shift to the left reported by others to be caused by insulin treatment was not detected.

Abstract
The authors report the case of an 18-year-old man with polytrauma, who died at the third day of its accident from brain death and who presented during his stay in the intensive care unit, a deep hypophosphatemia. Two physiopathologic mechanisms were presumed: increase of renal losses and intracellular transfer of phosphorus. Consequences, as well as the indications and the therapeutic modalities of hypophosphatemia are discussed.

Abstract
We investigated whether red cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentrations are reduced in critical illness, whether acidaemia, hypophosphataemia or anaemia influence 2,3-DPG, and whether there is any net effect on in vivo P50. Twenty healthy, non-smoking, male volunteers were compared with 20 male intensive care patients with APACHE 2 scores >20 on the preceding day. Those transfused in this time were excluded. Venous red cell 2,3-DPG concentrations were measured in both groups. In the patient group, routine multichannel biochemical profile and arterial blood gas analysis were also performed and in vivo P50 calculated. The mean 2,3-DPG concentration was significantly lower in the patient group than in the controls (4.2+/-1.3 mmol/l vs 4.9+/-0.5 mmol/l, P=0.016). The patients were well oxygenated (lowest arterial PO2=75 mm Hg) and showed a tendency to acidaemia (median pH 7.37, range 7.06 to 7.48) and anaemia (median haemoglobin concentration 113 g/l, range 89 to 154 g/l). By linear regression of patient data, pH had a significant effect on 2,3-DPG concentrations (r=0.6, P=0.011). Haemoglobin and phosphate concentrations did not, but there were few abnormal phosphate values. There was no correlation between 2,3-DPG concentrations and in vivo P50 (r2 < or = 0.08). We conclude that 2,3-DPG concentrations were reduced in a broad group of critically ill patients. Although this would normally reduce the P50, the reduction was primarily linked with acidaemia, which increases the P50. Overall, there was no net effect on the P50 and thus no affinity-related decrease in tissue oxygenation.
