Magnesium Supplementation in Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation

January 5, 2025 updated by: Dr Olu Bamgbade, MD, FRCPC

Perioperative Magnesium Supplementation in Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation Patients

Magnesium is essential in human physiology. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplant recipients frequently experience hypomagnesemia. The effects of hypomagnesaemia are harmful. This observational study assessed intraoperative magnesium supplementation's utility in patients undergoing SPK transplantation. Perioperative hemodynamics were monitored. Postoperative serum magnesium was monitored at 12 hours and 48 hours.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A vital component of human physiology is magnesium. It is common for recipients of simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplants to have hypomagnesemia. The consequences of hypomagnesaemia are detrimental. This prospective observational study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of intraoperative magnesium supplementation in adult SPK transplant recipients. Arrhythmia and perioperative hemodynamics were observed. Serum magnesium levels were checked 12 and 48 hours after surgery.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Chronic pancreas-kidney failure.
Adult patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic pancreas-kidney failure who require insulin and hemodialysis therapy. Intravenous magnesium supplementation was given intraoperatively to consenting patients receiving simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation.
Patients undergoing simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation who gave their consent were given an intravenous magnesium supplement at a dose of 45-50 mg/kg over the course of an hour during the procedure.
