Filter by:Use of proton pump inhibitors has been associated with hypomagnesemia. However, various case-control or prospective studies have found conflicting results with regards to proton pump inhibitors use and development of hypomagnesemia. Our aim was to evaluate the likelihood that proton pump inhibitors contributed to severe hypomagnesemia in a retrospective cohort of patients admitted with severe hypomagenesemia. We also aimed to look for risk factors leading to development of hypomagnesemia amongst users of proton pump inhibitors
Magnesium plays a role in the active transport of calcium (Ca+2) and potassium ions across cell membranes. Most of it is intracellular or in the bone , however less than 1% of magnesium is in the blood serum. Hypoparathyroidism post thyroidectomy leads to acute Hypocalcemia that leads to hypomagnesemia. The relation of Ca+2 and magnesium (Mg+2) metabolism is complex and mainly related to the interaction of these cations with parathyroid post thyroidectomy. (Mg+2) is an essential regulator of Ca+2 flux and intracellular action of Ca+2. Hypomagnesaemia impairs hypocalcaemia induced PTH release, which is corrected rapidly after magnesium replacement. Attempting to correct only hypocalcemia may prolong symptoms. It is important to monitor both Ca+2 & Mg+2 levels following thyroidectomy to facilitate prompt resolution of symptoms. Aim of the study: is to highlight the prevalence of hypomagnesemia following thyroidectomy and its association with hypocalcemia which mandate early recognition and treatment to prevent prolongation of hypocalcemia and permanent hypoparathyroidism Methods: IRB obtained (E20-4615) informed consent taken from all patient. This is prospective open Label observational study in patients underwent thyroidectomy .the study period was from January 2019 to January 2020. Total of 74 patients with normal renal function. Corrected serum Ca+2, magnesium, phosphate level and vitamin D level are all checked pre operatively and in the first post-operative day. Result: Post thyroidectomy 56.8% of patients had hypomagnesemia. 59.5.1% patients had hypocalcemia and 41.9% of patients had low both Ca+2 and Mg+2 (P=0.004) Conclusion: Hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia following thyroidectomy is of multi factorial related mainly to Ca+2, Mg+2 interaction.

Hypomagnesemia (hMg) is a common side effect of important anti-cancer therapies such as epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs) and platinum-containing anti-cancer drugs. EGFRIs, including cetuximab (cmab) and panitumumab (pmab), have been estimated to cause hMg in over 18% and 27% of patients respectively1, while 90% of patients receiving cisplatin will develop hMg if left untreated. The development of severe hMg may result in increased symptoms such as fatigue, neuromuscular changes, mental status changes and cardiac arrhythmias which could result in treatment delays and may compromise treatment efficacy. Despite the common occurrence of this toxicity, little is known regarding the optimal magnesium management strategy. As physicians do not know what the "best" treatment for patients is, genuine uncertainty ("clinical equipoise") exists. Physicians will choose between different "standards" of magnesium replacement in their personal practice, using idiosyncratic decision making processes, without the physician or the patient knowing the optimal option. This is not good for patients, physicians and society as a whole. Determining the optimal treatment remains an important medical issue for patients, physicians and society. This study will use a novel method to allow comparisons of established standard of care prophylactic treatment using the "integrated consent model" as part of a pragmatic clinical trial7. By integrating medical and clinical practices, physicians will be able to inform their patients about the randomized control trial, akin to a typical conversation between the physician and patient, without written informed consent. This clinical interaction would then be documented, as ordinarily done in practice. Medical and clinical practice will be intertwined with the patients' welfare at the forefront of our best interests.
Randomized placebo-controlled interventional trial to investigate the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on intracellular magnesium in subjects with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesize that oral magnesium supplementation will increase intracellular magnesium in subjects with chronic kidney disease as well as increase serum magnesium.
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a serious and common complication in hospitalized patients, occurring in more than 25% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Hypomagnesemia is a common disorder, occurring in approximately 12% of hospitalized patients, with an incidence of 60% in ICU patients. The majority of those patients have are asymptomatic hypomagnesemia, and patients with mild hypomagnesemia do not need treatment, only the correction of the underlying cause. Hypomagnesemia potentiates postischemic renal failure in rats, and is associated, in humans, with acute renal failure. To date, there is no study that demonstrated a benefit of maintain normal levels of magnesium in the incidence of ARF in critically ill patients. Thus, we suggest that a treatment aimed to maintain normal magnesium levels during ICU stay can decrease the incidence of ARF. We will perform a randomized clinical trial that will include all patients admitted to an ICU that, develop hypomagnesemia. It will be excluded from the study: patients younger than 18 years, participants from other studies, pregnant women, patients with creatinine greater than or equal to 3.5 mg / dl or on dialysis, patients who used intravenous contrast for radiological studies, patients weighing less than 40kg, suffering from advanced malignant disease, with severe hypomagnesemia (serum magnesium less than or equal to 1.1 mg / dl), with a diagnosis of Torsades de Pointes or symptomatic hypomagnesemia prior to randomization. Patients included in the study will be randomized to one of the following groups: placebo (saline solution 0.9%) or 50% Magnesium Sulfate. Patients will receive an administration of 48 mEq Magnesium diluted in 250 ml saline 0.9% for 24 hours in an infusion rate of 10.4 ml / hr. Therapy will be continued for 3 days, and repeated during ICU stay to maintain magnesium levels in the normal range. Placebo group will receive exactly the same infusion only with saline administration. The therapy will be discontinued if the patient has hypermagnesemia or signs of magnesium intoxication. The main outcome measurement will be the occurrence of ARF during ICU stay.
The magnesium food content in the Western world is consistently reducing. Hypomagnesemia is common in hospitalized patients, especially in the elderly with coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or those with chronic heart failure. Hypomagnesemia is associated with increased incidence of diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, mortality rate from coronary artery disease (CAD) and all cause. Magnesium supplementation improves myocardial metabolism, inhibits calcium accumulation and myocardial cell death; it improves vascular tone, peripheral vascular resistance, afterload and cardiac output, reduces cardiac arrhythmias and improves lipid metabolism. Magnesium also reduces vulnerability to oxygen-derived free radicals, improves human endothelial function and inhibits platelet function, including platelet aggregation and adhesion. The data regarding the absorption difference between supplemental magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate in humans is spare.
