Clinical Impact of Hypophosphatemia

Panelists discuss how the lower incidence of hypophosphatemia and related complications with ferric derisomaltose and ferric isomaltoside compared with ferric carboxymaltose influences treatment selection, monitoring protocols, and preventive strategies for patients requiring intravenous iron therapy.

Video content above is prompted by the following:

  • Considering the incidence of hypophosphatemia in patients with IDA was significantly lower with the use of FDI and FXT than with FCM therapy, how does this impact the choice of treatment?
  • How do you monitor phosphate levels?
  • A retrospective analysis found a significantly higher combined event rate of fracture, radiological signs of osteomalacia, and kidney stones among patients treated with FCM than after ferric derisomaltose (FDI) treatment. Do these results impact your clinical decision-making?
  • What potential interventions or preventative measures could be taken to mitigate the risk of hypophosphatemia in patients receiving IV iron formulations?
