In the management of electrolyte abnormalities along with hypokalaemia and hypocalcaemia, etc, presence of hypomsgenesaemia should be thought of even when serum magnesium is within normal limit as magneium is a predominantly intracellulr ion. Two cases of hypomagnesaemia as one of the factors of electrolyte distrubances are communicated in this write-up.

Diuretic drugs act on electrolyte transporters in the kidney to induce diuresis and are often used in chronic kidney disease (CKD), given that nephron loss creates a deficit in the ability to excrete dietary sodium, which promotes an increase in plasma volume. This rise in plasma volume is exacerbated by CKD-induced systemic and intra-renal activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system, which further limits urinary sodium excretion. In the absence of a compensatory decrease in systemic vascular resistance, increases in plasma volume induced by sodium retention can manifest as a rise in systemic arterial blood pressure.

Adverse events (AEs) induced by cancer chemotherapy reduce not only patient quality of life (QOL) but also the efficacy of treatment. Management of AEs can therefore improve both the efficacy and safety of cancer chemotherapy. This review describes the contribution of pharmacists to the management of adverse events aimed at improving the treatment efficacy of cancer chemotherapy.

Introduction: Protein A immunoadsorption (IA) is proving to be an effective treatment method for autoimmune diseases and other disorders. Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) prevents clotting in extracorporeal circuits without increasing hemorrhage risk in high bleeding risk patients, but there are no specific guidelines for its application in IA. We aimed to evaluate the safety and adverse effects of RCA used in IA therapy.
