Note: Representation of follow‐up data of the Dutch patients. Catecholamines: NE: norepinephrine, E: epinephrine, DA: dopamine. ↓: low (below reference value), ↓↓: very low (< 10% of local lower reference value), ↓↓↓: extremely low (< 5% of local lower reference value or below detection limit), ↑↑: very high (> two times local upper reference value), ↑↑↑: extremely high (> five times local upper reference limit), N: normal, ^probable overestimation due to technical reasons. 6 Kidney function: N: normal (eGFR>90 mL/min/1.73 m2), ↓: mildly decreased (eGFR 60‐90 mL/min/1.73 m2), ↓↓: moderately decreased (eGFR 30–59 mL/min/1.73 m2), ↓↓↓: severely decreased (eGFR 15–29 mL/min/1.73 m2). Anemia: − absent, + present (mild), ++ present (moderate). Magnesium: ↓: mildly decreased, ↓↓: moderately decreased ↑: increased, N = normal. Fractional magnesium excretion: normal value 2% to 4%. n = normal, ↑ = 4% to 10% ↑↑ > 10%.

Abbreviations: F, female. FU, follow‐up. M, male; y, years.

Fractional magnesium excretion calculation unreliable due to eGFR<40 mL/min/1.73 m2.
