Refeeding syndrome in a 12-year-old girl with an eating disorder and
distal renal tubular acidosis
Abstract
We experienced refeeding syndrome (RFS) with an eating disorder and
distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). A low body mass is high-risk
factors for RFS development. Therefore, frequently measurement of serum
phosphorus levels at the initiation of nutrition and rapid
administration of phosphate preparations are required to prevent
RFS-related organ failure.
