Hаllmаrks оf refeeding syndrоme include hypоphosphаtemia, hypokalemia, congestive heart failure, hemolysis, peripheral edema, rhabdomyolysis, and seizures. The primary cause of refeeding syndrome is hypophosphatemia, thus serum phosphate should be monitored closely. Patients with anorexia nervosa are already phosphate-depleted due to starvation, and consumption of carbohydrates during nutritional rehabilitation can lead to a further decrease of serum phosphorus as insulin triggers cellular uptake of phosphate. Potentially fatal consequences of hypophosphatemia include tissue hemolysis, tissue hypoxia, myocardial dysfunction, respiratory failure and seizures, with cardiac complications being the most common fatal sequelae. Patients with evidence of refeeding syndrome should have their nutritional support reduced while abnormalities like hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia are corrected. Risk for refeeding syndrome gradually reduces after consistent nutritional intake and weight gain.
