[Correction of disorders of phosphorus metabolism after operations on the abdominal organs].

Hypophosphatemia and decreased content of ATP, 2,3-DPG in erythrocytes were found in 147 patients operated upon organs of the abdominal cavity. Hypophosphatemia was more pronounced after operations for ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum, acute pancreatitis and commissural ileus. An intravenous injection of potassium dihydrogen phosphate++ prevents the development of hypophosphatemia and concomitant decrease of the content of nonorganic phosphorus, ATP, 2,3-DPG in erythrocytes and may improve the postoperative period in these patients.
