Dynamics of serum minerals changes after renal transplantation.
In 27 patients surviving with transplanted cadaver kidneys for 12-107 months, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and creatinine serum levels, glomerular filtration rate and incidence of serum mineral levels pathological deviations following renal transplantation were evaluated. In early posttransplantation period hypercalcemia and hypomagnesemia developed in one fourth of the observed group of patients and hypophosphatemia in two thirds of patients. Expressive hypermagnesemia developed in one patient. Calcium and phosphorus levels gradually normalized, excluding rare exceptions; magnesium serum level exceeded an upper limit of normal values in majority of patients, nor to medicamentous treatment was stated.
