A well-nourished alcoholic patient developed a subacute myopathy which responded rapidly to correction of severe hypomagnesaemia. The finding of profound hypocalcaemia prompted the measurement of serum magnesium. Magnesium deficiency should be looked for in any alcoholic patient with a myopathy as the prognosis seems better than in many other forms of alcoholic myopathy. Correction of the magnesium deficiency corrects the hypocalcaemia without the need for calcium supplementation.
一名营养状况良好的酗酒患者患上了亚急性肌病,在严重低镁血症得到纠正后,病情迅速好转。严重低钙血症的发现促使对血清镁进行检测。对于任何患有肌病的酗酒患者,都应查找镁缺乏情况,因为其预后似乎比许多其他形式的酒精性肌病要好。纠正镁缺乏可纠正低钙血症,而无需补充钙剂。
