A severely burned patient receiving neutral phosphate supplement developed renal tubular alkalosis. This phenomenon is compared with the results of ex perimental observations on animals, reported in the literature. The physiol ogic mechanism, including the possible role of parathyroid hormone, is illu strated. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd and ISBI. All rights re served.
