Reduce Refeeding Syndrome Risk When Restarting Nutrition
September 2026
Malnutrition Awareness Week starts September 14th...which puts a spotlight on ways to prevent and treat refeeding syndrome in adults.
This syndrome can begin hours to days after malnourished patients start to eat again. This causes insulin to spike, which drops potassium, magnesium, and phosphate levels...and can cause deadly arrhythmias.
Plus patients can develop edema and fluid shifts from sodium retention...and neurological symptoms (weakness, numbness, Wernicke encephalopathy, etc) with lactic acidosis due to thiamine deficiency.
