title: Neutral phosphate-induced renal tubular metabolic alkalosis.
abstract: A severely burned patient receiving neutral phosphate supplement developed renal tubular alkalosis. This phenomenon is compared with the results of experimental observations on animals, reported in the literature. The physiologic mechanism, including the possible role of parathyroid hormone, is illustrated.
