...Wenfang Yang; Erli Wang; Wenxiu Chen; Chunming Chen; Shanying Chen Background: Magnesium is an indispensable cation and plays an important physiological role in the body. Most previous studies focused on the single measurement of serum magnesium in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, scant...

...Tomomi Tamura; Kohei Unagami; Masayuki Okazaki; Mizuki Komatsu; Kosaku Nitta Background/Aims: Although hypomagnesemia was found to be a risk for cardiovascular diseases in the general population, the relationship between serum magnesium (Mg) levels and prognosis of patients on maintenance...

...Esther R. van de Wal-Visscher; Jeroen P. Kooman; Frank M. van der Sande Background: Magnesium (Mg) is an essential cation for multiple processes in the body. The kidney plays a major role in regulating the Mg balance. In a healthy individual, total-body Mg content is kept constant by interactions...

... ) and ionized (Mg 2+ ) magnesium. Methods: The authors compared changes of Mg 2+ and Mg tot with changes of Ca 2+ and Ca tot in 32 critically ill patients on 4% trisodium citrate (4% TSC) with calcium-free fluids. Results: The median continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration balance of Mg tot was -0.91 (-1.18...

... the relationship between pre-dialysis magnesium (Mg) and CV risk markers, [including pulse pressure (PP), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and vascular calcifications (VC)], and mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: We performed a 48-month prospective study in 206 patients under pre-dilution...

...David M. Spiegel Background: Magnesium ion is critical for life and is integrally involved in cellular function and a key component of normal bone mineral. In health, the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and bone are responsible for maintaining serum magnesium concentrations in the normal range...

... artery disease. Recent clinical studies have shown that lower serum magnesium (Mg) levels are associated with vascular calcification and cardiovascular mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). On the other hand, hypermagnesemia inhibits parathyroid hormone secretion, which...
