Abstract
GARCIA HABEYCH, José Mauricio; PRADILLA SUAREZ, Lina Patricia and CASTELLANOS BUENO, Rafael. Magnesium depletion secondary to hypercalcémie nephropathy during pregnancy: Case report and literatura review. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.1, pp.121-129. Epub Dec 12, 2020. ISSN 2500-5006.
Serum magnesium is the «forgotten ion» in medical practice. Most of the time it is not taken into account in clinical studies, its alterations tend to be ignored and its therapeutic approach is not well defined. The symptomatology produced by hypomagnesemia is nonspecific and its diagnostic approach is complex. We present the case of a pregnant patient with symptomatic hypomagnesemia secondary to renal damage due to hypercalcemia.
Keywords : hyperparathyroidism; hypercalcemic nephropathy; nephrogenic diabetes insipidus; pregnancy; hypomagnesemia.
