The kidneys play a pivotal role in the regulation of electrolyte and acid-base balance. With
progressive loss of kidney function, derangements in electrolytes and acid-base inevitably …

The importance of phosphate homeostasis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been
recognized for decades, but novel insights—which are frequently relevant to everyday …

Hyperphosphatemia is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease
(CKD), particularly in those requiring renal replacement therapy. The importance of …

Magnesium reduces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calcification in vitro but the
mechanism has not been revealed so far. This work used only slightly increased magnesium …

Magnesium has been shown to effectively prevent vascular calcification associated with
chronic kidney disease. Magnesium has been hypothesized to prevent the upregulation of …

Over the last decade, an increasing number of studies report a close relationship between
serum magnesium concentration and cardiovascular disease risk in the general population …

Although magnesium has been shown to prevent vascular calcification in vitro, controlled in
vivo studies in uremic animal models are limited. To determine whether dietary magnesium …

Background Low serum magnesium levels in patients with kidney disease have been linked
to increased mortality. This study investigated whether similar associations existed in …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), and cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
are complex disorders of partly unknown genesis and mostly known progression factors …

Magnesium is essential for many physiological functions in the human body. Its homeostasis
involves dietary intake, absorption, uptake and release from bone, swifts between the intra …
