An approach to the diagnosis and management of a case presenting with recurrent hypomagnesemia secondary to the chronic use of a proton pump inhibitor.

PURPOSE: Magnesium is an important electrolyte for very many cell functions and its deficiency may lead to a wide spectrum of diseases. We report a clinical case of hypomagnesemia resulting from the chronic use of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). PPIs are drugs widely used in medical practice, and a growing number of cases of PPIs causing hypomagnesemia have been described. Our aim was to monitor th...
