Hypomagnesaemia Sample Clauses
Hypomagnesaemia. In instances where a patient experiences hypomagnesaemia, defined as serum magnesium less than 1.3 mEq/L (0.65 mmol/L), consideration should be given to repletion of serum magnesium.
Hypomagnesaemia. Hypomagnesaemia has not been reported in PH patients to date, but was reported as an AE for 15.5% of patients with CKD who also had type 2 diabetes who received bardoxolone methyl. The AE of hypomagnesaemia (of any reported relationship to study drug) was more frequently reported in bardoxolone methyl-treated patients than in patients given placebo. The investigators considered almost all reported events to be mild. Additionally, patients treated with bardoxolone methyl had a greater decrease from baseline in serum magnesium levels than patients given placebo; the decrease was evident within 4 weeks and attenuated after 8 weeks of starting therapy. In bardoxolone methyl clinical studies performed to date, a post-hoc analysis identified no correlation between hypomagnesaemia and either gastrointestinal AEs or cardiac AEs, including cardiac dysrhythmias and prolonged QTc. The 24-hour urine collections from the BEACON ambulatory blood pressure monitoring sub-study showed no increase in urinary magnesium levels, indicating that renal loss of magnesium did not account for the reductions in serum magnesium observed with bardoxolone methyl treatment in CKD patients. Notably, a thorough QT study that tested doses of bardoxolone methyl up to 80 mg, bardoxolone methyl showed no increase in the QT interval.
