CT-Measured Psoas Muscle Density as a Predictive Factor for Hypophosphatemia Associated with Refeeding.

CONCLUSION: Psoas muscle density predicted the development of hypophosphatemia in patients initiated on PN. This measurement may aid in identifying patients at highest risk of experiencing RFS. A MPHU < 25 HU may prompt additional precautions including additional phosphate replacement and slower initiation of PN. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
