The complication that results when adequate nutrition is reintroduced rapidly is hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia. These are conditions that result from a refeeding syndrome. A person that usually experiences such case may eventually undergo cardiac arrhythmias because of the sudden introduction of nutrients to a person who has gone malnourished for a prolonged period of time.
