title: Total and ultrafiltrable plasma magnesium in hyper- and hypoparathyroidism, and in calcium-related metabolic disorders.
abstract: Serum total, ultrafiltrable and protein-bound magnesium, and urinary fractional excretion of magnesium were studied in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (before and after surgery) and in patients with hyperparathyroidism, malignant hypercalcemia and chronic renal failure with or without hemodialysis. Whereas serum total Mg was unchanged in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, the ultrafiltrable magnesium concentration was higher than in the control group and higher before than after surgery. The total and the ultrafiltrable magnesium concentrations were highly correlated in the overall patients with Ca-related metabolic disorders, suggesting that renal function had no influence on the relation between these two parameters. Moreover, in malignant hypercalcemia, our results suggested that PTH-like peptides might be less effective than PTH in renal handling of Mg as previously described for Ca.
