About this Presentation
Hypophosphatemia is an uncommon but serious complication of iron infusions. It is more likely with repeated iron infusions and with certain iron preparations. It is extremely important to educate people about this complication, especially those at higher risk. This is because the investigation and treatment need to be undertaken early for the best outcome.
