Hypophosphatémie après résection hépatique
Background: Post-hepatectomy hypophosphatemia, first associated with metabolic demands by the regenerating liver, has recently been related to an excessive fractional urinary phosphate excretion (FePO4). We decided to investigate the role of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and of phosphatonins in the latter finding. Methods: Serum phosphate (PO4), ionized calcium (Ca++), HCO3-, pH and FePO4, Intact PTH, carboxyl-terminal and Intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), FGF-7 and frizzled related-protein-4 (FRP-4) were measured before and serially on post-operative days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, in 18 patients undergoing liver resection. Results: Serum PO4 was lowest (0.66 ± 0.33 mmol/l; p < 0.001) on po day 2. FePO4 peaked at 25.07 ± 2.26 % on po day 1 (p < 0.05) and was associated with Intact PTH levels (r = 0.65, p = 0.006).  Decreased Ca++ levels (1.1 ± 0.01 mmol/l; p < 0.01) and increased Intact PTH levels (8.8 ± 0.9 pmol/l; p < 0.01) observed on po day 1 were negatively related (r = -0.62, p = 0.016). Intact FGF-23 decreased to its nadir 7.8 ± 6.9 pg/ml (p < 0.001), on po day 3 and was correlated with PO4 levels on po days 0, 3, 5 and 7 (p < 0.001). Carboxyl-terminal FGF-23, FGF-7 and FRP-4 levels could not be related either to PO4 concentrations or FePO4.  Conclusion: Post-hepatectomy hypophosphatemia is related to an increased FePO4 unrelated to Intact FGF-23 or carboxyl-terminal FGF-23, FGF-7 or FRP-4. I-PTH contributes to excessive FePO4 on po day 1 but not thereafter. Other factors not yet defined should explain post hepatectomy hypophosphatemia.
