Given its widespread role in nearly every molecular and cellular function, aberrations in serum phosphate levels can be highly impactful. Hypophosphatemia is defined as an adult serum phosphate level of fewer than 2.5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Normal serum phosphate levels in children are considerably higher, 4 to 7 mg/dL. Hypophosphatemia is a relatively common laboratory abnormality and is often an incidental finding. Severe hypophosphatemia can lead to significant clinical consequences and a possible increased mortality risk. Primary locations for regulation are the musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and renal systems, and comprehending the regulating factors is important for appropriate treatment. Phosphate metabolism is closely linked to calcium, and understanding the interplay among parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, and FGF23 is paramount. This activity describes the risk factors, evaluation, and management of hypophosphatemia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in enhancing care delivery for affected patients.
