Abstrakt: Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) allows for rapid and total correction of iron deficiency with a lower risk of hypersensitivity reactions compared to other IV iron preparations. However, FCM is associated with potentially serious adverse events, including hypophosphatemia, following the infusion. The mechanism behind FCM-induced hypophosphatemia is not well understood, but pre-existing risk factors can increase the likelihood of severe and persistent hypophosphatemia. We report a clinical case of a male patient who developed severe hypophosphatemia (1.0 mg/dL) after administration of FCM for the treatment of post-cardiotomy normocytic anemia. He required hospital admission and 16 weeks of phosphorous supplementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
