– Discussion: – normal phosphate serum levels are 3 to 4.5 mg/dL in adults and 4 to 7.5 mg/dL in children (Boyd & Olin, 1984); – hypophosphatemia occurs with serum P levels of < 0.8 mmol/L (2.5 mg/dL);- Differential Dx: – rickets / osteomalacia: – hypophosphatemia is the most common metabolic anomaly in rickets; – hypophosphatemic … Read more
