Abstract
Hypophosphatemia has been observed in severely burned patients and has been associated with increased mortality. Hyperphosphatemia has rarely been described in this population. We present a burn patient with hyperphosphatemia, hypercalciuria, and suppressed parathyroid hormone level 5 months after the initial burn. The patient's presentation is most consistent with the effect of immobilization on bone and calcium metabolism.Entities:
