Post-Transplantation Hypomagnesemia as a Predictor of Survival Among the Kidney Transplant Population.
T. Hod, B. Patibandla, A. Chandraker.
Transplant Research Center, Brigham and women's hospital, Boston, MA.
We have previously shown a robust relationship between low magnesium in the first year post-transplant and better long-term kidney allograft function. Given this somewhat counterintuitive…
