hy·po·phos·pha·te·mi·a (h  p -f sf -t  m-)n. Abnormally low concentrations of phosphates in the blood. |
hypophosphatemia (hī´pōfos´f
-tē´mē),n an abnormally low concentration of serum phosphates. Blood phosphorus levels are low in sprue, celiac disease, and hyperparathyroidism and in association with an elevated alkaline phosphatase in vitamin D-resistant rickets and other diseases involving a renal tubular defect in resorption of phosphate.
hypophosphatemia
a lower than normal level of inorganic phosphorus, present as phosphates, in the blood. May be due to nutritional deficiency, several different malignant neoplasms, and primary hyperparathyroidism or pseudohyperparathyroidism associated with hypercalcemia. See also rickets, osteomalacia, postparturient hemoglobinuria.
