Too often neglected, dosage of phosphatemia should yet be kept on mind. The role of phosphorus in bone mineralisation and regulation of acid-base balance is well known. Phosphorus is also an energy purveyor during numerous biologic reactions, and depp deprivation may lead to a lot of pathologic situations, sometimes severe. Mild hypophosphatemia is not rare and occurs in various clinical or therapeutic circumstances; deep hypophosphatemia is rather uncommon, occuring chiefly during hyperalimentation or realimentation of starving patients, especially alcoolics. Deep hypophosphatemia (by depletion or transfert) mainly induces clinical and pathological manifestations; they are subsequent to alterations of glucose metabolism, leading to a failure in ATP and 2,3 DPG synthesis. these metabolic events particularly explain muscular and hematological manifestations of hypophosphatemia. Phosphorus loading per os, or in severe cases intravenously corrects the biological abnormalities and improves clinical manifestations.

Nine patients with severe sepsis were studied to determine causes for any alterations in oxygen dissociation. Seven of the patients had oxyhemoglobin curves shifted to the left of expected and diminished DPG levels. These deficiences were not corrected in one case. The other eight patients survived or expired with normal to elevated P(50T) and DPG levels. In this study, three factors occurring either individually, in concordance, or in sequence were present when P(50T) was decreased. Correction of these deficiencies lead to normalization and, in one case, exceedingly high P(50T) and DPG levels. Where hypophosphatemia, acidosis, and transfusion of DPG deficient blood were avoided, no such change occurred. Hypophosphatemia is a common occurrence in the seriously ill patient whether or not hyperalimentation is used and may occur in spite of phosphate supplementation. Blood transfusions with CPD as the preservative are effective in reducing the severity of this disorder by the addition of an inorganic phosphate load. Septic shock itself had no untoward effect on oxygen dissociation. This held true even in the terminal stages of the disease process.
