Résumé
13 1/2 year old boy with short stature and pubertal delay had infrequent episodes of tetany. Biochemical determinations demonstrated low plasma and high urinary magnesium and potassium levels, hypocalciuria, slightly increased plasma bicarbonate, slightly reduced fractional distal reabsorption of chloride and sodium, high plasma renin activity and high urinary excretion of prostaglandins (E2, F2 alpha). The other parameters of renal functions were normal. Endocrine evaluation of short stature and pubertal delay was normal. Intracellular magnesium and potassium levels in lymphocytes and erythrocytes were within normal limits. Cyclooxygenase blockade with Indomethacin 2.5 mg/kg daily during 4 weeks normalized urinary excretion of prostaglandins and corrected in part low plasma and high urinary potassium levels, but had no effect on magnesium, calcium, sodium and chloride handling. These data raise the possibility that tubular hypomagnesaemia-hypokalaemia could be solely explained by a low renal threshold for magnesium.
