Impaired tubular reabsorption of magnesium after renal transplantation.
Tubular reabsorption of magnesium ( TRMg ) was calculated from the values of plasma ultrafiltrable Mg and urinary Mg in 36 patients with transplanted kidneys. The study revealed a defect in TRMg in all investigated patients. The lowest TRMg values were found in patients with poor function of the transplanted kidneys. TRMg increased in relationship with the increment in glomerular filtration rate, nevertheless in the majority of the cases the TRMg values did not reach the values of healthy individuals.
