  • Title: Fatal acute sodium phosphate enemas intoxication.
    Author: Farah R.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Belg; 2005; 68(3):392-3. PubMed ID: 16268431.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient who died as a result of severe hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphatemia after treatment with a sodium-phosphate enema. Physicians should be aware of the risk when using these enemas, even in normal doses, especially in elderly patients without signs of renal failure, as in our patient.
