Hypomagnesaemia with Secondary Hypocalcaemia
In 1965, Paunier et al. described a child of 6 weeks who had generalized convulsions and tetany, associated with low serum magnesium and calcium levels. Magnesium therapy stopped the tetany and established a normal serum calcium level. Similar cases were later reported by Salet et al. (1966), Friedman, Hatcher, and Watson (1967), and Skyberg et al. (1967). Most of these authors suggested that t...
متن کاملA fatality due to ingestion of hydrofluoric acid.
We report a fatal case of hydrofluoric acid (HF) ingestion with suicidal intent. Quantitation using an ion-selective electrode for fluoride in fresh bile, gastric contents, kidney, liver, skeletal muscle, urine, and vitreous humor yielded 6.5, 39.0, 10.0, 6.0, 4.5, 5.0, and 4.5 ppm, respectively. In addition to the unfixed specimens, fluoride ion was measured in the following fixed tissue: brai...
متن کاملNew TRPM6 mutation and management of hypomagnesaemia with secondary hypocalcaemia.
BACKGROUND TRPM6 gene mutation has been reported to cause hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia (HSH). However, the genotype-phenotype correlation for TRPM6 gene mutations has not been clarified. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the factors underlying the severe neurological complications in HSH and evaluate the potential association between the location of TRPM6 gene mutations and clinical data o...
متن کاملHypomagnesaemia causing myopathy and hypocalcaemia in an alcoholic.
A well-nourished alcoholic patient developed a subacute myopathy which responded rapidly to correction of severe hypomagnesaemia. The finding of profound hypocalcaemia prompted the measurement of serum magnesium. Magnesium deficiency should be looked for in any alcoholic patient with a myopathy as the prognosis seems better than in many other forms of alcoholic myopathy. Correction of the magne...
متن کاملProton pump inhibitor-induced hypomagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia: case review.
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-induced hypomagnesaemia is a rare but serious adverse effect of a widely prescribed medication. It has become an increasingly recognised complication since 2006, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issuing a warning for this risk with regards to long-term PPI use. We present the case of PPI-associated hypomagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia. A 91 year old male prese...
