Overview
The aim of this paper is to emphasise the clinical relevance of refeeding syndrome. Consequent to family intervention, a patient (28 years) with prolonged history of reduced food intake and on vegetarian diet suddenly rapidly increased food intake, including animal protein. This combination of hypermetabolic strain, chronic work overload with periods of acute work and physical (sports) overloading of this anxious-depressive patient have led to severe hypophosphataemia with severe adynamia.
Key words:
refeeding syndrome – food intake – anxiety-depressive disorder – hypophosphataemia
