title: Hypophosphatemia in a pediatric patient after major hepatic resection.
abstract: Hypophosphatemia was noted in a 20-month-old infant following major hepatic resection. The hypophosphatemia appeared to be related in part to renal wasting of phosphate, although this condition was transient. Prompt recognition and treatment prevented serious sequelae of this disorder.
