چکیده
Magnesium has recently been explored as important mineral for the health of CF patients. The aim was detect the rates of hypomagnesaemia and to compare the serum magnesium of the CF patients treated in a reference center for CF. Methods: It was a retrospective study, survey of patients’ records treated in a reference center for CF. It was included the first dosage of serum magnesium collected from January of 2011 to march of 2013, was also collected age at magnesium serum collection (0 to 10 years old , > 10 to 20 years old , > 20 to 50 years old) , pancreatic insufficiency and serum magnesium value. A comparison of serum magnesium between the groups, according with age and pancreatic insufficiency, was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallys Test and the significance level adopted was 5 % (p < 0.05). Results: Total of 50 patients, with media (SD) of serum magnesium was 1.67 mEq /L (± SD 0.21), without significant difference enter groups. Conclusion: although, the median of serum magnesium closer to the lower levels of the reference values might be an alert to try oral magnesium supplementation.
