Severe Hypophosphatemia in Alcohol-Induced Acute Pancreatitis: A Case Report

Mild hypophosphatemia can be reported in some cases of acute pancreatitis, especially in alcohol-induced pancreatitis (AIP), but severe hypophosphatemia (≤0.33 mmol/L) is rarely reported, even in cases with AIP. Here, we have a case report of a 43-year-old male with alcohol-related pancreatitis asso...

Sumario:Mild hypophosphatemia can be reported in some cases of acute pancreatitis, especially in alcohol-induced pancreatitis (AIP), but severe hypophosphatemia (≤0.33 mmol/L) is rarely reported, even in cases with AIP. Here, we have a case report of a 43-year-old male with alcohol-related pancreatitis associated with a critical value of hypophosphatemia. We urge clinicians to consider undertaking serial monitoring of the serum phosphate levels of any patient admitted with acute pancreatitis, especially when alcohol is involved.
