title: Iatrogenic osteomalacia and myopathy due to phosphate depletion.
abstract: In a patient receiving regular dialysis prolonged hypophosphataemia due to aluminium hydroxide therapy resulted in osteomalacia and severe proximal myopathy. Both osteomalacia and myopathy responded to correction of hypophosphataemia without vitamin D therapy.
