<p>Magnesium urinary excretion is enhanced by increasing blood alcohol levels, diuretics, Bartter syndrome, corticosteroids, cis-platinum therapy and aldosterone. Renal magnesium wasting occurs in renal transplant recipients who are on cyclosporine and prednisone. Renal conservation of magnesium is diminished by hypercalciuria, salt-losing conditions, and the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone.</p>
