Background And Objectives: Citrate-based anticoagulation reduces plasma potassium and free magnesium in patients undergoing peripheral stem cell collections. Whether the effects may be mitigated by pre-procedure oral electrolyte supplements has not been previously assessed.
Materials And Methods: Results from a historic cohort (2010-2013) guided a systematic prospective intervention in subjects deemed at risk for clinically meaningful hypokalaemia and hypomagnesaemia.
