Continuous balance measurements of magnesium, nitrogen, potassium, sodium, calcium, and phosphorus have been made in the first 21 days of treatment of acute kwashiorkor, with particular attention to magnesium. In the next 30 days, isolated 5-day or 6-day balance determinations were made. Thirteen children, aged 10 months to 2 years, were studied. Five of them took a supplement of magnesium hydroxide throughout. In all but one, the balance of magnesium was strongly positive, much more so when the supplement was given. The retentions of magnesium and potassium were greater than was expected from the nitrogen balance, and that of phosphorus was greater than expected from the nitrogen and calcium balances. This reflects the deficient state of cell protoplasm in these ions, which others have reported. The magnesium content in urine was always very low on admission, but in a third of the children the magnesium concentration in serum was within normal limits. No symptoms referable to magnesium deprivation were observed in this series, but reasons are given for recommending that a magnesium supplement be used routinely in treatment.

The anabolic effect of Formebolone on the retention of nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium in adult male volunteers was evaluated over a period of 21 days. The study was divided into a pre-dosc period to establish baseline data, a period where the drug was given daily followed by a third period after treatment had ceased to investigate whether the effects were in any way prolonged. Formebolone was well tolerated and showed a positive effect on nitrogen balance and bodyweight change in all subjects. The effects on calcium and phosphorus balance were less clear-cut but indicated increased retention of both elements.
