Note: FEMg was calculated as 100 × (uMg × sCr)/(0.7 × sMg × uCr), where uMg and uCr represent urinary magnesium and creatinine concentrations measured in 24-hour urine collections, and sMg and sCr represent serum magnesium and creatinine levels, respectively.
Abbreviations: ED, emergency department; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; MgSO4, magnesium sulfate; NA, not available; PTH, parathyroid hormone; SGLT2, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2.
Details of medications present during 24-hour urine collections can be found in Table S1.
Details of 24-hour urine study calculations of creatinine clearance, fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg), and the filtered load of magnesium, pre-SGLT2 inhibitor use and post-SGLT2 inhibitor use can be found in Table S2.
