Abstract
The effects of maternal magnesium sulphate treatment on neonatal mineral st atus and parathyroid hormone secretory response were studied in 8 exposed a nd 27 control preterm infants during the first 2 wk of life, Antenatal magn esium sulphate resulted in hypermagnesaemia during the first 3-7 d of life without affecting other serum mineral concentrations. Conclusion: Early hypermagnesaemia was associated with hypercalciuria durin g the first 3 d and parathyroid hormone suppression up to the age of 2 wk i n the exposed infants.
