Intermittent use of pantoprazole and famotidine in severe hypomagnesaemia due to omeprazole.
We read with interest the article ‘Hypomagnesaemia due to use of proton pump inhibitorsa review’, by Kuipers et al. We present here a patient with severe hypomagnesaemia due to omeprazole. We emphasise that the intermittent use of pantoprazole and a histamine H2-receptor antagonist may be an appropriate therapeutic alternative for normalising serum magnesium concentrations, without recurrence o...
متن کاملA Case of Severe Hypomagnesaemia
Hypomagnesaemia is a common finding that occurs in hospitalised patients and can be caused by renal or extrarenal wasting. Because it is not routinely tested, even severe hypomagnesaemia can be missed. In cases of extrarenal wasting, the kidney can decrease its magnesium excretion to very low levels. A systematic diagnostic approach allows the proper diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesaemia. ...
متن کاملFamilial cramp due to potassium-aggravated myotonia.
Clinical, electrophysiological, and molecular genetic features were investigated in two patients from a family a with dominantly inherited myotonic disease, characterised by painful cramps, stiffness without weakness, fluctuation of symptoms, and cold sensitivity. A reduction in amplitude of the compound muscle action potential was demonstrated on cooling and administration of potassium, althou...
متن کاملHallucis Muscle During Cramp Contractions
33 We analyzed individual motor units during electrically-elicited cramp contractions with 34 the aim of characterizing the variability and degree of common oscillations in their discharges. 35 Intramuscular and surface EMG signals were detected from the abductor hallucis muscle of 11 36 healthy subjects (age 27.0 ± 3.7 yrs) during electrically-elicited cramps. In total, 48 motor units 37 were ...
