N2 - A patient with acute liver failure, in whom no infectious, toxic, or other cause of hepatic damage could be found, developed severe hypophosphatemia along with hepatocellular necrosis. We propose that phosphate depletion may be responsible for the liver cell damage, as hypophosphatemia impairs tissue oxygenation and depletes cellular ATP.
