  • HD &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp : patients usually need 15–20 mmol/ day in TPNCAV/VVHD patients usually need 30– 40 mmol/dayDuring IV phosphate replacement, serum calcium, potassium and phosphate should be monitored 6–12 hourly. Repeat the dose within 24 hours if an adequate level has not been achieved. Urinary output should also be monitoredThere is experience giving 15 mmol over 2 hours up to 3 times a dayExcessive doses of phosphate may cause hypocalcaemia and metastatic calcification
