Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) plays crucial roles in multiple essential biological processes. As the kidneys are the primary organ responsible for maintaining the blood concentration of Mg, people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may develop disturbances in Mg. While both hyper- and hypomagnesemia may lead to adverse effects, the consequences associated with hypomagnesemia are often more severe and lasting. Importantly, observational studies have shown that CKD patients with hypomagnesemia have greater vascular calcification. Vascular calcification is accelerated and contributes to a high mortality rate in the CKD population. Both in vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that Mg protects against vascular calcification via several potential mechanisms, such as inhibiting the formation of both hydroxyapatite and pathogenic calciprotein particles as well as limiting osteogenic differentiation, a process in which vascular smooth muscle cells in the media layer of the arteries transform into bone-like cells. These preclinical findings have led to several important clinical trials that have investigated the effects of Mg supplementation on vascular calcification in people with CKD. Interestingly, two major clinical studies produced contradictory findings, resulting in a state of equipoise. This narrative review provides an overview of our current knowledge in the renal handling of Mg in health and CKD and the underlying mechanisms by which Mg may protect against vascular calcification. Lastly, we evaluate the strength of evidence from clinical studies on the efficacy of Mg supplementation and discuss future research directions.

Monitoring of ionized magnesium in hemodialysis patients: A useful tool to allow a personalized prescription of dialysate composition. Clin Chim Acta 2024; 552:117687. [PMID: 38070668 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The dialysate magnesium (Mg) concentration is a major determinant of Mg balance in hemodialysis. This study aimed to assess the systemic variations of total (tMg) and ionized Mg (iMg) during a dialysis session using acetate or citrate fluids and 0.5 or 0.75 mM Mg. MATERIALS AND METHODS 134 patients in maintenance hemodialysis were assigned to a dialysis session with 4 different dialysates: acetate fluid with 0.5 mM Mg (1) or 0.75 mM Mg (2), citrate fluid with 0.5 mM Mg (3) or 0.75 mM Mg (4). Ionized form was measured by direct ion-selective electrode. RESULTS A Mg loss was observed in both acetate (0.12 and 0.08 mmol/L) and citrate (0.13 and 0.14 mmol/L for tMg and iMg, respectively) fluid groups containing 0.5 mM Mg. The use of acetate and citrate dialysates with 0.75 mM Mg led to a significant median intra-dialytic increase of 0.15 and 0.08 mmol/L for tMg, respectively. A significant augmentation in iMg concentration with acetate (0.11 mmol/L) but not with citrate dialysate (0.02 mmol/L) was observed. CONCLUSION While a dialysate Mg concentration at 0.5 mM leads to a negative balance, increasing the concentration to 0.75 mM significantly raises post-dialysis circulating Mg. Monitoring of iMg should allow a personalized prescription in dialysate Mg.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) with bicarbonate dialysis fluid (DF) requires the presence of an acid to prevent the precipitation of calcium and magnesium carbonate. The most used acid is acetic acid, with it several complications have been described. In a previous work we described the acute changes during an HD session with a DF with citrate instead of acetate. Now we report the results in the medium term, 16 weeks. It is a prospective, multicenter, crossover and randomized study, where 56 HD patients with bicarbonate three times a week were dialysed for 16 weeks with 3 mmol/L acetate and 16 weeks with 1 mmol/L citrate. Patients older than 18 years with a previous stay on HD of more than 3 months and with a normal functioning arteriovenous fistula were included. Epidemiological data, dialysis, bioimpedance, biochemistry before and after HD, as well as hypotensive episodes, were collected monthly. After 16 weeks of citrate treatment, preHD ionic calcium and magnesium were significantly lower and PTH higher than in the acetate period. No differences were observed in the effectiveness of dialysis. Hypotensive episodes were significantly more frequent with acetate than with citrate: 311 (14.1%) vs 238 (10.8%) sessions. The lean mass index increased by 0.96 ± 2.33 kg/m2 when patients switched from LD with acetate to citrate. HD with citrate modifies several parameters of bone mineral metabolism, not only acutely as previously described, but also in the long term. The substitution of acetate for citrate improves hemodynamic stability, producing less hypotension and can improve nutritional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies have found that hypomagnesemia is associated with vascular calcification, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease, which may lead to increased mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who need to maintain hemodialysis (HD). However, the conclusion of these studies remain controversial. METHODS Relevant literature was retrieved from the database of Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, and CNKI until December 2020, without any language restrictions. The data was analyzed using the Stata 12.0 software. RESULTS A total of 31 studies were included, involving 205436 participants. The results showed that after multivariable adjusted, hypomagnesemia was significant associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (hazard ratios [HR] 1.955; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.511-2.528; P = .000; hypomagnesemia vs normal magnesium or hypermagnesemia). In contrast, in patients with CKD and ESRD, hypermagnesemia was negatively correlated with all-cause mortality (HR 0.873; 95% CI 0.793-0.960; P = .005) (per unit increase). Moreover, in the adjusted model, it was observed that hypermagnesemia was significantly associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular death (HR 0.598; 95% CI 0.094-1.102, P = .020). In addition, subgroup analysis found that hypomagnesemia was closely related to the increase of all-cause mortality in HD patients (HR 1.799; 95% CI 1.375-2.354; P = .000) (hypomagnesemia vs normal magnesium or hypermagnesemia). CONCLUSION Our results show that hypomagnesemia is significantly associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in maintenance HD patients. Further studies should be conducted to evaluate the benefits of magnesium correction in maintenance dialysis patients with hypomagnesemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular mortality is significantly increased in kidney failure with replacement therapy (KFRT) patients, which is partly mediated by enhanced vascular calcification. Magnesium appears to have anticalcifying capabilities, and hypomagnesemia has been associated with increased mortality in KFRT patients. Ionized magnesium represents the biologically and physiologically active form. As serum ionized magnesium (Mgion ) is difficult to assess in clinical routine estimating equations derived from routinely assessed laboratory parameters could facilitate medical treatment. METHODS We developed equations to estimate serum Mgion using linear regression analysis in 191 hemodialysis (HD) patients. Reference test was measured ionized magnesium (Mgion ). As index tests, we chose estimated Mgion using total magnesium (Mgtot ) and other laboratory and demographic variable candidates. Equations were internally validated, using 749 subsequent Mgion measurements. FINDINGS The median patient age was 65 years, 67.5% of the patients were male. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) measured Mgion was 0.64 [0.57, 0.72] mmol/L, 11 (6%) patients were hypo- (i.e., <0.45 mmol/L) and 127 (66%) were hypermagnesemic (>0.60 mmol/L). The final equation at the end of the development process included Mgtot , serum ionized, and total calcium concentrations. In the validation dataset, bias (i.e., median difference between measured and estimated Mgion , -0.017 [-0.020, -0.014] mmol/L) and precision (i.e., IQR of bias 0.043 [0.039, 0.047] mmol/L) were small, 90% [88, 93] of estimated values were ±10% of measured values. The equation detected normomagnesemia with overall good diagnostic accuracy (area under the receiver-operating curve 0.91 [0.89, 0.93]). DISCUSSION Mgion can be estimated from equations containing routinely assessed laboratory variables with high accuracy and good overall performance. These equations might simplify the assessment of ionized magnesium levels in the individual hemodialysis patients and help the treating physician to guide the overall treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dialysis fluids (DFs) during haemodialysis has been associated with increased oxidative stress and reduced serum magnesium (Mg) levels, contributing to chronic inflammation. Since the role of Mg in modulating immune function and reducing oxidative stress has been demonstrated, the aim of this study was to characterize in vitro whether increasing the Mg concentration in DFs could protect immune cells from oxidative stress and damage. METHODS The effect of citrate [citrate dialysis fluid (CDF), 1 mM] or acetate [acetate dialysis fluid (ADF), 3 mM] dialysates with low (0.5 mM; routinely used) or high (1 mM, 1.25 mM and 2 mM) Mg concentrations was assessed in THP-1 human monocytes. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and oxidized/reduced (GSSG/GSH) glutathione were quantified under basal and inflammatory conditions (stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, LPS). RESULTS The increase of Mg in CDF resulted in a significant reduction of ROS production under basal and inflammatory conditions (extremely marked in 2 mM Mg; P < 0.001). These effects were not observed in ADF. Interestingly, in a dose-dependent manner, high Mg doses in CDF reduced oxidative stress in monocytes under both basal and inflammatory conditions. In fact, 2 mM Mg significantly decreased the levels of GSH, GSSG and MDA and the GSSG/GSH ratio in relation to 0.5 mM Mg. CONCLUSIONS CDF produces lower oxidative stress than ADF. The increase of Mg content in DFs, especially in CDF, could have a positive and protective effect in reducing oxidative stress and damage in immune cells, especially under inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Despite modern treatment, risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unacceptably high. Observational studies have shown associations of magnesium with risk for several clinical outcomes in CKD of variable magnitude. The aim of this review is to provide a systematic overview and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies assessing the association of plasma magnesium concentration with clinically relevant outcomes in adult patients with chronic kidney disease, with a minimal follow-up of 6 months. Primary outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular events, sudden death and hospitalisation. METHODS The electronic databases PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library were searched using terms relating to plasma magnesium and CKD patients, and two authors independently selected eligible studies. Study quality was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results of studies with a comparable magnesium exposure and outcome measure, were pooled using a random-effects meta-regression analysis. RESULTS The search yielded 6156 records of which 33 studies, involving 348,059 patients, met the eligibility criteria. Finally, 22 studies could be included in the meta-analysis. Higher magnesium was associated with a lower risk for all-cause mortality (HR 0.90 [0.87-0.94] per 0.1 mmol/L increase of magnesium) and cardiovascular mortality and events (HR 0.85 [0.77-0.94] per 0.1 mmol/L). CONCLUSIONS Magnesium concentration is inversely associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality and events. Therefore, increasing magnesium may improve risk in patients with chronic kidney disease. This meta-analysis forms a firm base for future prospective trials to test whether increasing plasma magnesium, indeed has beneficial effects on clinical outcomes.

[PMID: 32326605 PMCID: PMC7222382 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9040319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is exacerbated in hemodialysis patients by several factors, including the uremic environment and the use of dialysis fluids (DFs). Since magnesium (Mg) plays a key role in modulating immune function and in reducing oxidative stress, we aimed to evaluate whether increasing the Mg concentration in different DFs could protect against oxidative stress in immunocompetent cells in vitro. Effect of ADF (acetate 3 mM), CDF (citrate 1 mM), and ACDF (citrate 0.8 mM + acetate 0.3 mM) dialysates with Mg at standard (0.5 mM) or higher (1, 1.25, and 2 mM) concentrations were assessed in THP-1 monocyte cultures. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were quantified under basal and uremic conditions (indoxyl sulfate (IS) treatment). Under uremic conditions, the three DFs with 0.5 mM Mg promoted higher ROS production and lipid damage than the control solution. However, CDF and ACDF induced lower levels of ROS and MDA, compared to that induced by ADF. High Mg concentration (1.25 and/or 2 mM) in CDF and ACDF protected against oxidative stress, indicated by reduced ROS and MDA levels compared to respective DFs with standard concentration of Mg. Increasing Mg concentrations in ADF promoted high ROS production and MDA content. Thus, an increase in Mg content in DFs has differential effects on the oxidative stress in IS-treated THP-1 cells depending on the dialysate used.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Citric acid–based bicarbonate haemodialysis (CIT-HD) has gained more clinical acceptance over the last few years in France and is a substitute for other acidifiers [e.g. acetic acid (CH3COOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl)]. This trend was justified by several clinical benefits compared with CH3COOH as well as the desire to avoid the consequences of the corrosive action of HCl, but a nationwide clinical report raised concerns about the long-term safety of CIT-HD. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term effects of CIT-HD exposure on patient outcomes in western France.
Methods
This is a population-based retrospective multicentre observational study performed in 1132 incident end-stage kidney disease patients in five sanitary territories in western France who started their renal replacement therapy after 1 January 2008 and followed up through 15 October 2018. Relevant data, collected prospectively with the same medical software, were anonymously aggregated for the purposes of the study. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the effects of citrate exposure on all-cause mortality. To provide a control group to CIT-HD one, propensity score matching (PSM) at 2:1 was performed in two steps: the first analysis was intended to be exploratory, comparing patients who received citrate ≤80% of the time (CIT-HD ≤80) versus those who received citrate >80% of the time (CIT-HD >80), while the second analysis was intended to be explanatory in comparing patients with 0% (CIT-HD0) versus 100% citrate time exposure (CIT-HD100).
Results
After PSM, in the exploratory part of the analysis, 432 CIT-HD ≤80 patients were compared with 216 CIT-HD >80 patients and no difference was found for all-cause mortality using the Kaplan–Meier model (log-rank 0.97), univariate Cox regression analysis {hazard ratio [HR] 1.01 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.71–1.40]} and multivariate Cox regression analysis [HR 1.11 (95% CI 0.76–1.61)] when adjusted for nine variables with clinical pertinence and high statistical relevance in the univariate analysis. In the explanatory part of the analysis, 316 CIT-HD0 patients were then compared with 158 CIT-HD100 patients and no difference was found using the Kaplan–Meier model (log-rank 0.06), univariate Cox regression analysis [HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.47–1.03)] and multivariate Cox regression analysis [HR 0.87 (95% CI 0.57–1.33)] when adjusted for seven variables with clinical pertinence and high statistical relevance in the univariate analysis.
Conclusions
Findings of this study support the notion that CIT-HD exposure ≤6 years has no significant effect on all-cause mortality in HD patients. This finding remains true for patients receiving high-volume online haemodiafiltration, a modality most frequently prescribed in this cohort.

[PMID: 32309293 DOI: 10.1159/000504601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 11/06/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Background The relationship between magnesium and mortality in hemodialysis patients has been evaluated in several prospective studies, but few have assessed the risk of all-cause mortality in elderly hemodialysis patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between magnesium levels and the risk of cardiovascular and overall mortality in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods This was a retrospective study, and patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were screened for eligibility at a single dialysis center between July and December 2016. Patients were divided into two groups based on their magnesium levels: a low magnesium level group and a high magnesium level group. Associations between magnesium level and risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality were analyzed with a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results In total, 413 patients were included with a median follow-up period of 12 months. We found that compared to patients with high magnesium levels, those with low magnesium levels had significantly lower levels of hemoglobin, urea, creatinine, uric acid, phosphate, potassium, chloride, albumin, and spKt/V (p < 0.05 for each parameter). There was a strong correlation between the baseline mean serum magnesium concentration 1 year prior and the concentration 1 year later (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.519, p < 0.001). After adjustment for confounding factors, multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed hypomagnesemia to be an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients. Furthermore, subgroup analysis was performed, revealing that serum magnesium levels were still strongly associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in patients older than 60 years, with HR values of 0.020 (95% CI 0.001-0.415) and 0.010 (95% CI 0.000-0.491), respectively. In addition, there were still significant associations between the serum magnesium level and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in elderly dialysis patients at the 6-month follow-up visit. Conclusion Our study indicates that lower serum magnesium levels are strongly associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients, especially in the short term and in those who are elderly. Factors affecting serum magnesium concentrations in hemodialysis patients should be investigated, and correcting hypomagnesemia may benefit elderly hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
In the United States, end-stage renal disease patients receiving hemodialysis have an exceedingly high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), accounting for 29% of death events, likely relating to their uremic milieu, recurring exposure to fluid and electrolyte fluxes, and underlying cardiovascular pathology. Furthermore, epidemiologic studies have shown that SCD events, as well as mortality and hospitalizations, occur most frequently on the first dialysis day after the long interdialytic gap, suggesting that abrupt fluctuations in the accumulation and removal of electrolytes, fluid, and uremic toxins over the dialysis cycle may be contributory. Some population-based observational studies have suggested that lower dialysate potassium concentrations appear to be associated with a heightened risk of postdialysis cardiac arrest in hemodialysis patients, although the optimal serum-to-dialysate potassium gradient remains unclear. Some observational studies have suggested that low dialysate calcium concentrations and high serum-to-dialysate calcium gradients may predispose patients to SCD. There is ongoing controversy about an association between higher dialysate bicarbonate concentrations and higher risk of cardiac arrest, likely owing to confounding by indication. Some observational studies also have shown that large interdialytic weight gains, fluid retention, and high ultrafiltration rates are linked with higher risk of SCD and mortality. However, there remains considerable controversy regarding the pros and cons of designating a specific upper ultrafiltration limit with extended treatment times as a clinical practice measure, and further studies are needed to define the optimal tools, metrics, targets, and implementation measures for volume control in the hemodialysis population. In this review, we highlight the epidemiology and pathophysiology of how specific aspects of the hemodialysis procedure may relate to the risk of SCD, as well as preventative strategies and future research directions that can address this risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE It is unclear whether hypomagnesemia is an independent risk factor or innocent bystander for mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Thus, we studied associations between hypomagnesemia and all-cause as well as cardiovascular (CV) mortality in MHD patients. METHODS Baseline clinical characteristics and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) of 353 Japanese MHD patients were reviewed. Three-year survival rate and mortality risk factors were assessed. RESULTS Median (interquartile range) age, dialysis vintage, serum magnesium (Mg), serum albumin and CACS of the subjects were 68 (60-78) years, 75 (32-151) months, 2.4 (2.2-2.7) mg/dl, 3.6 (3.3-3.8) g/dl, and 1181 (278-3190), respectively. During the 3-year period, 91 patients died. Kaplan-Meier overall 3-year survival rates were 59.0% in in patients with Mg < 2.4 mg/dl (n = 136) and 82.3% in patients with Mg ≥ 2.4 mg/dl (n = 217), (P < 0.0001). In Cox regression models not incorporating serum albumin, Mg < 2.4 mg/dl was significantly associated with 3-year all-cause death, independent of age, dialysis vintage, average ultrafiltration, Log (CACS + 1), warfarin use, serum potassium, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), phosphate, uric acid, and intact parathyroid hormone [Hazard ratio (HR) 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.82 (1.31-6.29), P = 0.0078], and CV death, independent of age, dialysis vintage, Log (CACS + 1), warfarin use, serum hsCRP, and uric acid [HR (95% CI): 4.47 (1.45-16.76), P = 0.0086]. Nevertheless, associations of Mg < 2.4 mg/dl with all-cause and CV mortality were all absent in models that included serum albumin. CONCLUSIONS Hypomagnesemia is not an independent risk factor for mortality but is associated with malnutrition in MHD patients.

Abstract
The short-term effects of magnesium sulfate infusion during surgery are well known. However, the long-term outcomes of intraoperative magnesium sulfate infusion remain unknown. Medical records of patients aged ≥20 years who underwent non-cardiac surgical procedures at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between January, 2010 and October, 2016 were analyzed. After propensity score matching, 12,652 patients were included in the final analysis, 6326 each in the magnesium and non-magnesium groups. There were no significant differences in 30-day or 1-year mortality between subjects [30-day mortality, hazard ratio (HR): 1.31, 95% CI: 0.64-2.69, P = 0.465; 1-year mortality, HR: 1.20, 95%CI: 0.94-1.53, P = 0.136]. Intraoperative magnesium sulfate infusion was not significantly associated with postoperative 30-day or 1-year mortality.

Routine hemodialysis induces a decline in plasma magnesium concentration in most patients: a prospective observational cohort study. Sci Rep 2018; 8:10256. [PMID: 29980722 PMCID: PMC6035165 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-28629-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2018] [Accepted: 06/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
In hemodialysis patients, lower plasma magnesium (Mg) concentrations are associated with a higher overall and cardiovascular mortality. The optimal concentration appears to be above the reference range for the healthy population. Plasma Mg is not routinely measured after hemodialysis. Aim of this study was to determine the effect of routine hemodialysis on plasma Mg. Plasma Mg was measured in duplicate before (Mgpre) and after (Mgpost) dialysis in 6 consecutive hemodialysis sessions of 34 patients using a fixed 0.50 mmol/L dialysate Mg concentration. Mean Mgpre was 0.88 mmol/L (±0.14) and mean Mgpost was statistically significantly lower: mean intra-dialytic decline 0.10 mmol/L (95%-CI 0.06-0.13). A 0.10 mmol/L higher Mgpre was associated with a 0.03 mmol/L higher Mgpost (95%-CI 0.024-0.037). At a Mgpre of 0.74 mmol/L, Mgpost equalled Mgpre. There was an intra-dialytic decline of plasma Mg at higher Mgpre values and an increase at lower Mgpre values. In conclusion, in the majority of the hemodialysis patients, Mgpre concentrations are in the reference range of the healthy population, which may be too low for hemodialysis patients. Routine hemodialysis with the widely used 0.50 mmol/L dialysate Mg concentration, further declines magnesium in the majority of patients. Current dialysate Mg concentrations may be too low.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) status has recently drawn close attention in chronic kidney disease and in kidney transplant recipients. This review aims to evaluate the body of evidence linking hypomagnesemia to clinical consequences in these specific populations. After a brief summary of the main mechanisms involved in Mg regulation and of Mg status in end-stage renal disease, the review focuses on the relationship between hypomagnesemia and cardiovascular risk in kidney transplant recipients. A body of evidence in recent studies points to a negative impact of hypomagnesemia on post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and cardiovascular risk, which currently represent the main threat for morbidity and mortality in kidney transplantation. Deleterious biological mechanisms induced by hypomagnesemia are also discussed. While data analysis enables us to conclude that hypomagnesemia is linked to the development of PTDM, studies prospectively evaluating the impact of hypomagnesemia correction after kidney transplantation are still lacking and needed.
