Abstract

Mild hypophosphatemia can be reported in some cases of acute pancreatitis, especially in alcohol-induced pancreatitis (AIP), but severe hypophosphatemia (0.33 mmol/L) is rarely reported, even in cases with AIP. Here we have a case report of a 43-year-old male with alcohol-related pancreatitis associated with a critical value of hypophosphatemia.
