Brief Summary
In this pilot exploratory study, we aim to examine extracellular vesicles (EVs) as biomarkers in urine from up to 15 patients, with up to 10 samples per patient among the patients with a history of hypomagnesemia.

Primary Outcomes (1)
Changes in urinary markers pNKCC2/NKCC2, pNCC/NCC, pSPAK/SPAK, uEGF/Cr, TRPM6, Uromodulin
2 years
Study Arms (1)
Hypomagnesemia (serum Mg <1.7 mg/dL)
The patients will be selected with a history of hypomagnesemia. The urine samples will be collected at various intervals depending on the most recent serum magnesium levels available during the study period. The patients may or may not be on medications known to alter serum magnesium levels.
Eligibility Criteria
Outpatient clinic patients at Shands Hospital, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
You may qualify if:
- Adult (≥18 years old)
- History of hypomagnesemia (serum Mg \<1.7 mg/dL)
You may not qualify if:
- Current or recent use of loop, thiazide, or thiazide-like diuretics within the last 3 months
