Renal magnesium wasting in two families with autosomal dominant inheritance. | Read by QxMD (original) (raw)

Journal Article

Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't

Hypomagnesemia due to isolated renal magnesium loss was demonstrated in two unrelated families with autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Magnesium infusions performed in two patients showed not only a reduced renal magnesium threshold but also a lowered renal tubular maximum for magnesium. All members of both families who presented with hypomagnesemia had also a lowered excretion of calcium in the urine, presumably as a consequence of increased reabsorption in Henle's loop.
