A 47-year-old man was admitted due to serious weight loss after several months in which he had not eaten and had drunk almost solely beer. Shortly after the start of enteral tube feeding, the patient developed serious heart failure. This was associated with severely disrupted electrolyte levels and in particular hypophosphataemia and hypomagnesaemia. This condition is termed refeeding syndrome. The circulating volume increases due to the hyperinsulinaemia which occurs during the feeding phase. Furthermore a shortage of ATP occurs and the heart may fail. In efforts to establish feeding, a weight increase of not more than 1 kg per week should be attempted; if the weight increases by more than this, then fluid retention is the probable cause.
