All infants had hypophosphataemia. Plasma concentrations were maintained between 1.5 mmol/l and 2.2 mmol/l. Plasma phosphorus concentrations reached 1.5 mmol/l or greater in three patients after 12 hours, in a further nine patients after 36 hours, and in all patients by 60 hours. Changes in plasma calcium concentrations were not significant.
