WCN25-71 HYPOMAGNESEMIA AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION IN CHILDREN: A RETROSPECTIVE SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE

Hypomagnesemia is among the common complications that are seen after kidney Transplantation (KTX). It has been traditionally linked to the chronic use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), particularly Tacrolimus. It’s usually noticed in the first few days after KTX, and continues to be there chronically, which requires chronic Magnesium supplements. Magnesium supplements have been associated with diarrhea in some patients. Our aim is to identify the incidence of hypomagnesemia after KTX, its time of first occurrence after the start of CNIs, its management, and the potential side effects of chronic Magnesium supplements.
