چکیده

Endocrinol Nutr. 2013;60:156--7. causes include nutritional problems and gastrointestinal or renal losses, while isolated malabsorption is a less common cause. In the past year, alerts related to chronic administration of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have increasingly been reported. Renal response to increased gastrointestinal losses of this cation is the maintenance of a FEMg less than 2%, and severe hypomagnesemia per se impairs PTH secretion, leading to hypokalemia in most cases. We report the case of a male patient who experienced severe hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia secondary to chronic diarrhea. He had been treated with omeprazole for 10 years. The side effect of this drug, uncommon but with significant clinical consequences and whose etiology has not been fully elucidated yet, has prompted us to report this causal relationship in the scientific literature. Diagnosis is confirmed by the reversibility of electrolyte disorders upon drug discontinuation once other causes have been ruled out, which occurred in our patient. 156 CARTAS CIENTÍFICAS

متن کاملMood disorder as a manifestation of primary hypoparathyroidism: a case report
INTRODUCTION Primary hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition caused by parathyroid hormone deficiency and characterized by hypocalcemia. The clinical manifestations of primary hypoparathyroidism include tetany, seizures, paresthesias, dementia, and parkinsonism. Psychiatric manifestations such as mood disorders are unusual and may constitute a major diagnostic challenge, especially if the typica...
متن کاملSuppression of Parathyroid Hormone in a Patient with Severe Magnesium Depletion
Hypomagnesemia is often associated with coexisting electrolyte abnormalities like hypokalemia and hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia has been shown to be secondary to hypoparathyroidism induced by hypomagnesemia. Here, we discuss a case of a patient with severe hypomagnesemia and associated hypocalcemia. A 38-year-old lady was admitted to the hospital for weakness of lower extremities and an eventual f...
متن کاملTetany due to hypomagnesemia induced by cisplatin and doxorubicin treatment for synovial sarcoma.
Hypocalcemic crisis developed in a patient with monophasic synovial sarcoma after amputation of the right leg, followed by long-term treatment with cisplatin and doxorubicin. Laboratory data revealed severe hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia. High normal intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), elevated mid-region PTH and undetectable osteocalcin levels had already been found before the appearance of obv...
متن کاملHypomagnesemia as a potentially life-threatening adverse effect of omeprazole
Hypomagnesemia can be caused by a wide range of diseases (e.g. gastrointestinal disorders, kidney diseases or endocrine disorders), but it can also be a side effect of several drugs. It can be asymptomatic or cause many different clinical symptoms, and the clinical manifestations mainly depend on the rate of development rather than the actual serum magnesium concentration. We here present a 40-...
