Résumé
Kidney transplantation is complicated by various electrolyte disturbances with variable reported prevalence and incidence and of multifactorial pathogenesis. The aim of our study was the retrospective longitudinal assessment of the serum electrolytes in a cohort of stable kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and the possible associated parameters, including graft function and medications. We included 93 stable KTRs under follow-up in our hospital's kidney transplant unit. Serum magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and urine sodium levels were recorded retrospectively during 3 consecutive years. In addition, comorbidities, biochemical parameters, medications, and graft function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation and 24-hour urinary protein [uTpr]) were recorded. Mean age at baseline was 51 ± 11 years; 64 KTRs were men (68.8%), 17 (18.3%) had diabetes, 79 (85%) had hypertension, and 11 (11.8%) had cardiovascular disease. Mean eGFR and uTpr (mg/24 h) at study initiation were 47.1 ± 13.5 mL/min/1.73 m In our cohort of KTRs, there were no significant electrolyte disorders, either in terms of frequency or severity, with hypomagnesemia being the most prevalent disturbance. The identification of potential associated risk factors and clinical data correlations are pivotal for the development of individualized and evidence-based therapeutic approach and decisions.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Kidney transplantation is complicated by various electrolyte disturbances with variable reported prevalence and incidence and of multifactorial pathogenesis. The aim of our study was the retrospective longitudinal assessment of the serum electrolytes in a cohort of stable kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and the possible associated parameters, including graft function and medications.
METHODS
METHODS
We included 93 stable KTRs under follow-up in our hospital's kidney transplant unit. Serum magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and urine sodium levels were recorded retrospectively during 3 consecutive years. In addition, comorbidities, biochemical parameters, medications, and graft function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation and 24-hour urinary protein [uTpr]) were recorded.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Mean age at baseline was 51 ± 11 years; 64 KTRs were men (68.8%), 17 (18.3%) had diabetes, 79 (85%) had hypertension, and 11 (11.8%) had cardiovascular disease. Mean eGFR and uTpr (mg/24 h) at study initiation were 47.1 ± 13.5 mL/min/1.73 m
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
In our cohort of KTRs, there were no significant electrolyte disorders, either in terms of frequency or severity, with hypomagnesemia being the most prevalent disturbance. The identification of potential associated risk factors and clinical data correlations are pivotal for the development of individualized and evidence-based therapeutic approach and decisions.
